Architectural mapping using Data flow
Structured design
Transform mapping
To map these data flow diagrams into a software architecture,you would initiate the following
design steps:
1.Review the fundamental system model.
2. Review and refine data flow diagrams for the software.
3.Determine whether the DFD has transform or transaction flow.
4. Isolate the transform center by specifying incoming and outgoing flow boundaries.
5. Perform “first-level factoring”.
6. Perform “second-level factoring”.
7. Refine the first-iteration architecture using design heuristics for improved software quality.
