    • B.

      A process should have no more inputs than it needs to generate its outputs

    • C.

      The only outputs from a process are those that can be generated using its inputs

    • D.

      Data flow is processed as it is received; however, data in a data store can be accessed at any time and in any order

    Correct Answer
    D. Data flow is processed as it is received; however, data in a data store can be accessed at any time and in any order
    Explanation
    The DFD ordering rule states that data flow is processed as it is received, meaning that it is processed in the order it arrives. However, data in a data store can be accessed at any time and in any order, indicating that there is no specific order in which data in a data store needs to be accessed. This rule helps ensure that the flow of data within a system is efficient and follows a logical sequence.

    • A.

      DFD has ambiguous data flow names

    • B.

      Process creates output from data that is not input

    • C.

      DFD excludes initialization and termination details

    • D.

      Process has "dead end" data flows that are input but never used

    Correct Answer
    C. DFD excludes initialization and termination details
    Explanation
    One common error in DFDs is when the process creates output from data that is not input. This means that the process is generating information without receiving any input data. Another common error is when the DFD has ambiguous data flow names, which can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of the data flows. Additionally, having "dead end" data flows that are input but never used is also a common error. However, the DFD excluding initialization and termination details is not considered a common error as these details are often not included in the DFD as they are not directly related to the data flow.
