Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

A DFD illustrates how data moves through the system, showing data inputs, processes,
and outputs.

Steps:

• Level 0 (Context Diagram): This is the highest level, showing the system as a
single process and how it interacts with external entities.

o External entities: Customer, Admin, Payment Gateway

o Data flows:

▪ Customer: Sends order details, receives order confirmation.

▪ Admin: Sends product updates, receives inventory information.

▪ Payment Gateway: Sends payment confirmation or failure.

• Level 1 (Detailed Diagram): Breaks down the system into subprocesses.

o Process 1: User Authentication (input: username/password, output:


authentication status)

o Process 2: Product Browsing (input: search query, output: product list)

o Process 3: Cart Management (input: selected products, output: updated


cart)

o Process 4: Order Placement (input: cart data, output: order


confirmation)

o Process 5: Payment Processing (input: payment details, output:


payment status)

• Data Stores: Show where data is stored, like in databases.

o Products Database

o Users Database

o Orders Database

o Payments Database

Tools to Create These Diagrams:

• UML Tools: Visual Paradigm, Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, Draw.io

• DFD Tools: Creately, Lucidchart, or even hand-drawn diagrams.
