2. Structure charts are designing tools for
describing a system according to its functions.
It describes the software architecture.
Structure chart is the next step after developing
DFD’s.
It consist of diagram consisting of rectangular
boxes that represents the modules, connecting
arrows , or lines.

3. control module
subordinate modules
Control Module: It is a higher-level module that directs lower-level
modules.
subordinate modules:These are the lower level modules.

MODULE 1.1
MODULE 1.2
1.2
MOMODULE 1.3

4. Structure chart shows the system module and
their relationship between them.
It shows the size and complexity of the system.
There are two types of structure charts . They are
1 HIPO Chart
2 Warnier-orr Diagram

5. The most popular type of structure chart is
the HIPO chart.
HIPO stands for Hierarchy plus Input
Processing Output.
Actually ,two types of charts make up a HIPO
package.
Hierarchy chart and IPO chart.
One shows the hiearchy,the other depicts the
input,processing,and outputs.

6. Hierarchy chart describes the hierarchy of
system functions in a top to bottom manner.
The system is the top level.The second level is
made up of the major functions of the
system.For the third level ,each of the major
function is broken down into subfunctions.
It is a designphase tool with adetailed level
about equal to intermediate level system
flowcharts

8. The second of the HIPO package chart is IPO chart.
IPO chart decribes each functional modules of
hierarchy chart by listing inputs,processing
steps,and outputs.
IPO charts do not show hierarchy. It is normally
prepared for each function shown on the
hierarchy chart.

IPO charts are used for input –output analysis
1.Sales data
2.Payment data
3.New accounts
4.Inactive
accounts
1.Verify account
numbers
2.validate all
numeric fields
3.check for valid
transaction codes
1.transaction file
2.Error report

10. The second type of structure chart is Warnier-orr
diagram.
Warnier-orr diagram is essentially a hierarchy chart
drawn from left to right rather than top to bottom.
It uses brackets to group subfunctions and relate them
to their higher level functions.
They are simple in appearance and easy to understand.
It gives more emphasize on functions rather than data
flow.
