3. The relation between use cases and data flow diagrams is generally:
Use cases are developed by users and data flow diagrams are developed by systems
A.
analysts
B. Data flow diagrams are developed first and then use cases ensue
C. Use cases are developed first and then data flow diagrams ensue
D. Use cases show logical processes, while data flow diagrams show physical processes
E. There is not a relationship between use cases and data flow diagrams
Ans: c
4. Brianna has a process has two inputs but only one output.
A. This is an error as there needs to be the same amount of inputs as outputs
B. This is an error as process do not have inputs or outputs
C. This is normal as all processes have two inputs and one output
D. This is normal as all processes need at least one input and at least one output
E. This is an error as processes only produce output
Ans: d
5. The relationship between use cases and data flow diagrams is:
Use cases tend to be developed with users to make sure the analyst has fully captured
A.
the processes and relationships; DFD's are built upon the use cases to more fully
formally understand the processes involved
B. Both are tools in a systems analysts toolbox, although they do unrelated things
Use cases are developed by users exclusively; while DFD's are developed by analysts
C.
exclusively
Use cases come out of JAD sessions and clarify what was discussed by users in those
D.
sessions; DFD's come out of analysts' interviews.
They are the same thing – use cases are process models using the DeMarco and
E.
Yourdon notation; and DFD's are process models using the Gane and Sarson notation.
Ans: a
6. Process models are only used to document the current system (that is, the “as-is” system),
since that is the system the users know and is the system that will be modified.
A. True
B. False
Ans: b
8. Data flow diagrams (as the name implies) focus on the physical data in a system.
A. True
B. False
Ans: b
9. According to the authors “Process modeling – and the creating of PMPs in particular – is one
of the most important skills needed by systems analysts”.
A. True
B. False
Ans: b
10. The major inputs and major outputs listed on the use case provide a list of the sources and
destinations of the inflows and outflows on the processes on a DFD.
A. True
B. False
Ans: a
