Data Flow Diagram Builder

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is an essential tool for the representation of the information flow within a system and visualization of data processing. The diagrams of this type visually show how data enter and leave the system, where they are stored, and what changes the information.

Data Flow Diagrams solution supplies ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with a lot of useful features making it the best Data Flow Diagram builder. These are the predesigned DFD symbols, objects and connectors, different patterns, and customizing options for DFD objects and connectors. The pre-loaded templates and professionally-designed samples giving an overview of the Data Flow Diagrams application are also included.

Example 1. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM - Data Flow Diagram Builder

The ready-made templates included in the Data Flow Diagrams solution reduce the time and efforts involved for drawing your diagrams, especially in comparing with manually drawing. At the same time drawing Data Flow Diagrams from the blank sheet is also simple in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM because of included collection of predesigned DFD vector design stencils.

Share your ready DFD documents with colleagues and friends or instantly send by e-mail directly from the application. Export in various file formats like GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, etc. with one click.

Example 2. Data Flow Diagram Template

The following features make ConceptDraw DIAGRAM the best Data Flow Diagram builder:

You don't need to be an artist to draw professional-looking diagrams in a few minutes.
Large quantity of ready-to-use vector objects makes your drawing diagrams quick and simple.
Great number of predesigned templates and samples give you a good start for your own diagrams.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides you the possibility to use the grid, rules, and guides. You can easily rotate, group, align, arrange the objects, use different fonts and colors to make your diagram exceptionally looking.
All ConceptDraw DIAGRAM documents are vector graphic files and are available for reviewing, modifying, and converting to a variety of formats: image, HTML, PDF file, MS PowerPoint Presentation, Adobe Flash, MS Visio.
Using ConceptDraw STORE you can navigate through ConceptDraw Solution Park, managing downloads and updates. You can access libraries, templates, and samples directly from the ConceptDraw STORE.

Software development with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM →

When we think about programming, we usually imagine sleepless nights spent on writing kilobytes of code. However, from another point of view, Software development with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM makes a programmer's life endlessly easier. This tool is unique to fulfill all your needs in short period of time. Over the recent years object-oriented methodology has become more and more widespread. Thanks to this methodology developers manage to deal with growing complexity of applications. More and more programs are written in such programming languages as C++, Java, Visual Basic and Object Pascal. However, the complexity of the designed systems imposes extended requirements as to design of graphic documentation. ConceptDraw possesses powerful tools for designing of technical documentation for object-oriented projects. The libraries included in the package allow to easily draw class hierarchies, object hierarchies and diagrams of data flows with the use of the most popular notations, including UML and Booch notations. And the library for projecting COM-interfaces will spare developers of ActiveX-servers a headache.

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) →

In software engineering, it is important to understand how the system would cooperate with external sources, like data sources. To give this information a visual representation, data flow diagrams (DFD) were used for years. The entire system is usually divided into smaller ones, and all of them process data flows in appropriate ways. The visualizing business processes which engages the data transfer, is commonly preformed using DFDs (data flow diagrams). DFD is used to show the data flow processing and transformation. This DFD represents the electronic system of a customer purchase. It was created using Gane/Sarson notation. Data flow diagrams helps you to sort through and clarify transferring process making it available for analysis, and representation. ConceptDraw DFD solution introduces the vector library, containing the full set of icons from DFD notations. Data Flow Diagram (DFD) *
