Introduction
Software design consists of two components, modular design and
packaging.
Modular design is the decomposition of a program into
modules.
A module is a group of executable instructions with a single

Structured design was developed by Ed Yourdon and Larry
Constantine.
This technique deals with the size and complexity of a program

Structure Charts
The primary tool used in structured design is the structure chart.
Structure charts are used to graphically depict a modular
design of a program.
• Specifically, they show how the program has been partitioned into
smaller more manageable modules, the hierarchy and organization
of those modules, and the communication interfaces between
modules.
• Structure charts, however, do not show the internal procedures
performed by the module or the internal data used by the module.
Structured Design
Structure Charts
Structure chart modules are depicted by named rectangles.
Structure chart modules are presumed to execute in a top-to-
bottom, left-to-right sequence.
An arc shaped arrow located across a line (representing a module
call) means that the module makes iterative calls.
A diamond symbol located at the bottom of a module means that
the module calls one and only one of the other lower modules that
are connected to the diamond.
Program modules communicate with each other through passing of
data.
Structured Design
Structure Charts
Programs may also communicate with each other through passing
of messages or control parameters, called flags.
Library modules are depicted on a structure chart as a rectangle
containing an vertical line on each side.

Transform Analysis
One approach used to derive a program structure chart from
program DFD is transform analysis.
Transform analysis is an examination of the DFD to divide
the processes into those that perform input and editing, those
that do processing or data transformation (e.g., calculations),
and those that do output.
• The portion consisting of processes that perform input and editing
is called the afferent.
• The portion consisting of processes that do actual processing or
transformations of data is called the central transform.
• The portion consisting of processes that do output is called the
efferent.

Transform Analysis
The strategy for identifying the afferent, central transform, and
efferent portions of a begins by first tracing the sequence of
processing for each input.
There may be several sequences of processing.
Transform Analysis
Once sequence paths have been identified, each sequence path is
examined to identify process along that path that are afferent
processes.
The steps are as follows:
• Step 1 - Beginning with the input data flow, the data flow is traced
through the sequence until it reaches a process that does processing
(transformation of data) or an output function.
• Step 2 - Beginning with an output data flow from a path, the data
flow is traced backwards through connected processes until a
transformation processes is reached (or a data flow is encountered
that first represents output).
• Step 3 - All other processes are then considered to be part of the
central transform!

Transform Analysis
Once the DFD has been partitioned, a structure chart can be created that
communicates the modular design of the program.
Step 1 - Create a process that will serve as a “commander and chief”

Step 4 - If there is only one transformation process, it should
appear as a single module directly beneath the boss module.
• Otherwise, a coordinating module for the transformation processes
should be created and located directly above the transformation
process..
Step 5 - A module per transformation process on the DFD
should be located directly beneath the controller module.

Step 6 - The last process encountered in a path that identifies
efferent processes becomes a second-level module on the
structure chart.
Step 7 - Beneath the module (in step 6) should be a module

Transaction Analysis
An alternative structured design strategy for developing structure
charts is called transaction analysis.
Transaction analysis is the examination of the DFD to

Transaction Analysis
The primary difference between transaction analysis and transform
analysis is that transaction analysis recognizes that modules can be
organized around the transaction center rather than a transform
center.

modules.
Loosely coupled modules are less likely to be dependent on
one another.

cohesiveness.
Programs that are implemented with highly cohesive modules
follows: (continued)
• Temporal cohesion — are modules whose instructions appear to
have been grouped together into a module because of “time”.
• Logical cohesion — are modules that contain instructions that
appear to be related because they fall into the same logical class of
functions.
• Coincidental cohesion — are modules that contain instructions
that have little or no relationship to one another.
Packaging Program Specifications
Introduction
As an systems analyst, you are responsible for packaging that set
of design documentation into a format suitable for the
programmer.
This package is called a technical design statement.
