2、Structured Application Development,Structure Charts Structure charts show the program modules and the relationships among them Control module: In a structure chart, a control module is a higher-level module that directs lower-level modules, called subordinate modules. Subordinate modules: A lower-le

Control couple shown as an arrow with a filled-in circle. In a structure

6、 chart, a control couple shows a message, also called a flag, which one module sends to another. A module uses a flag to signal a specific condition or action to another module,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,6,Structured Application Development,Control modules make the dec

7、isions about which lower-level modules should be executed. Lower-level modules are functional, performing only one task. Systems analysts should keep the number of couples to a minimum. The fewer data couples and control flags one has in the system, the easier it is to change the system.,Avicenna,Sy

10、tured Application Development,Structure Charts Condition: A line with diamond on one end presents a condition A specified action or state in a structure chart. A condition line indicates that a control module determines which subordinate modules will be invoked, depending on a specific condition Sor

12、d arrow represents a loop In a structure chart, a loop indicates that one or more modules are repeated. The get student grades and calculate GPA modules are repeated for each student,An example of a structure chart loop.,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,11,Structured Applica

13、tion Development,In order to choose among alternatives when dividing systems into modules, it useful to evaluate the connection between them. If there are few or no connections between modules, then it is easier to understand one module without reference to others. The notion of module independence

14、can be described in terms of coupling and cohesiveness. These concepts were introduced by Edward Yourdon and Larry Constantine who are concerned with goodness of design.,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,12,Structured Application Development,Coupling: Coupling measures relati

15、onships and interdependence among modules. Coupling is the strength of relationships between modules (the degree to which modules are interconnected with or related to one another). The stronger the coupling between modules in a system, the more difficult it is to implement and maintain the system,

16、because a modification to one module will then necessitate careful study, as well as possible changes and modifications, to one or more other modules. In practice, this means that each module should have simple, clean interface with other modules, and that the minimum number of data elements should

17、be shared between modules.,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,13,Structured Application Development,Loosely coupled: Modules that are relatively independent. Loosely coupled modules are easier to maintain and modify, because the logic in one module does not affect other module

18、s. Tightly coupled: If modules are tightly coupled, one module refers to internal logic contained in another module.,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,14,Structured Application Development,This figure shows two examples of coupling In the tightly coupled example, the subordin

19、ate module, Calculate Current Charges, depends on a status flag that is receives from control module, Update Customer Balance. The loosely coupled modules on the left are logically independent. Rather than passing flag down to the subordinate module, the control module allows the Apply Discount modu

20、le to handle discount processing independently. Logic errors, if any, are confined to the Apply Discount module, where they can be detected and resolved more easily,An example of loosely coupled and tightly coupled structure charts.,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,15,Struct

21、ured Application Development,Cohesion: Cohesion measures a modules scope and processing characteristics. Cohesion is the measure of the strength among the elements in the same module (the degree to which the components of a module are necessary and sufficient to carry out one, single, well defined f

22、unction).In practice, this means that the systems designer must ensure that they does not split essential processes into fragmented modules and the systems designer must ensure that they does not gather together unrelated processes (represented as processes on the DFD) into meaningless modules.The b

23、est modules are those that are functionally cohesive. The worst modules are those that are coincidentally cohesive.High cohesiveness occurs when all of the module parts contribute directly to the purpose or function which the module is supposed to accomplish. If you need to make a module more cohesi

24、ve, you can split it into separate units, each of which performs a single function,Avicenna,System Analysis and Design System Implemantation,16,Structured Application Development,In the figure below the task called Check Customer Status actually consists of two separate tasks: Check Customer Number

25、and Check Customer Credit Limit. Notice that the figure with one module is less cohesive than the figure with the two modules, because it combines the two tasks into a single module, while the other figure treats them as separate modules, you achieve more cohesion and better program quality,An examp
