Level o data flow diagram(DFD):
Level o is the highest-level data flow diagram(DFD), which provides an overview of the entire system. It
shows the major processes, data flows, and data stores in the system, without providing and detail
about the internal workings of these processes. It is also known as a context diagram. It’s designed to
be an abstraction view, showing the system as a single process with its relationship to external entities.
It represents the entire system as a single bubble with input and output data indicated by
incoming/outgoing arrows.

1. Level provides a more detailed view of the system by breaking down the major processes identified in
the level o Data Flow Diagram(DFD) into sub-processes. each sub-process is depicted as a separated
process on the level-1 Data Flow Diagram(DFD). The data flows and data stores associated with each
sub-process are also shown.
In 1-Level Data Flow Diagram (DFD), the context diagram is decomposed into multiple
bubbles/processes. In this level, we high light the main functions of the system and breakdown the
high-level process of o-level Data Flow Diagram(DFD) into sub processes.

2-Level provides an ever more detailed view of the system by breaking down the sub-processes
identified in the level 1 Data Flow Diagram(DFD) into further sub-processes each sub-process is depicted
as a separate process on the level 2 DFD. the data flows and data flows and data stores associated with
each sub-process are also shown.
2-Level Data Flow Diagram(DFD) goes one step deeper into parts of 1-level DFD. it can be used to plan or
record the specific/necessary detail about the system’s functioning.
