Functional Decomposition Diagrams & Software Verification
Functional Decomposition Diagrams (DDF)
Techniques to represent the decomposition of the functions of a system.
Its purpose is to represent the hierarchy of system processes at different levels of abstraction. It decomposes a high-level function into low-level functions.
They are used to represent other information such as company structure.
Types of DDF
- Functions of the system at different levels of abstraction but without considering the flows between them.
- The functions and input and output data
- Functions
