Program Flow Chart and System Flow Chart (11/12)

Program flowchart and system flowchart

Programs are the collection of set of instruction which perform some certain activities. These interrelated programs are collectively called software or in general we call it information system. Information system is capable of processing raw data into information depending upon the users requirements. Thus, information system should process several types of data for several purpose or job which are done through programs. In short information system is a collection of programs.
While developing a software, we design our software by using flowchart and other several designing tools. Flowchart is the diagrammatic or pictorial representation of steps involved while solving a problem. It illustrates the sequence of operations required to solve a problem. There are mainly two types of flowchart: Program flowchart and System flowchart.

Program flowchart: It represents the steps involved in solving a particular problem. It illustrates the flow of logic and sequence of a program in which it is executed. It is a detailed diagram showing how a program process input data into desired output. Several symbols can be used while designing a program flowchart.

System Flowchart

As system consists of several integrated programs it’s almost impractical to illustrates whole system control flow through a diagram so, we will system flowchart to illustrate broad over view of a overall system. It is use to represent the structure of the system and its elements with relationship. Several symbols can be used while designing a system flowchart.

Different between Program flowchart and System flowchart

Program flowchart

System flowchart

It illustrates the control flow of a specific program.

It illustrates the broad overview of overall system.

It is used to solve specific problem.

It is used to process data.

It shows flow of instruction in a program

It shows data flow in a system.

Its operations are limited and has less symbols.

Different kinds of symbols with several functionality can be used .

It is designed by programmer.

It is designed by system designer.

Program flowchart are designed during development once whole system design is finalized.

System flowchart should be designed in advanced before proceeding to development 

It has no further category.

It has many category such as E-R diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Context diagram etc.

Eg, Program to sort in ascending, Program to find greatest number among N numbers etc

Eg, Library Management System, Marksheet Evaluation System, Payroll System, Inventory Management System.

  What is Software Development Life Cycle? Software Process Model Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry to design, develop and test high quality softwares. The SDLC aims to produce a high-quality software that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within times and cost estimates. It is a process followed for a software project, within a software organization. It consists of a detailed plan describing how to develop, maintain, replace and alter or enhance specific software. The life cycle defines a methodology for improving the quality of software and the overall development process. System Development Life Cycle Phases / Stages: System Study The Study phase is the most crucial step in creating a successful system. During this phase you decide exactly what you want to do and the problems you’re trying to solve by defining the problems, the objectives and the resources such as personnel and costs. System Analy...
