What is a Structure Diagram
Defintion: Structure Diagram
Structure diagrams visually represent system components and their relationships. They simplify complex systems into understandable parts, aiding in planning, design, and communication during the development of a project within a team and with a client.
How do you draw a Structure Diagram
At GCSE you just need to understand how different components will work together.
For example, a school library book loan system will have a number of smaller component parts:
Student:
- Search Book
- Borrow Book
- Return Book
Admin:
- Add Book
- Remove Book
- Add User
- Remove User
This could represented as:
CRUD
Most systems follow a CRUD approach
- Create - create a record
- Retrieve - search the records
- Update - edit a record
- Delete - remove a record
