    Have any of you done software engineering as part of your degree/course?

    I am having alot of bother creating an accurate structure chart for a task I am currently doing!

    Theres a few drinks in it if anyone can point me in the right direction :up: :)

    no language, just needing a structure chart to show "a complete overview of the online system"

    The task goes up to but does not include actual high level language coding - only goes as far as testing strategy :)

    ahhh.....well then, it will be easy.

    so you just have to make a structure diagram?

    just draw boxes which represtent different parts of the application, then link them up with with arrows showing what the user does to get there. Maybe put some more arrows on which represent data flow....like if some data is passed between classes, or if a property is set or something.

    If it doesnt have to be 100% accurate to code (like a class diagram in java), then you can just make it up really....if you get me?

    bwloe is a simple class diagram for a system we have been building for uni....might help....maybe?

    Aye that helps cheers

    The thing is I know what has to be done, but i really can't think of how this bollocks system fits together, I have tried to make a chart but I am pretty sure its complete bollocks.

    The lecturer hasn't spent anywhere near enough time on it :(

    I'm at a total loss!

    The funny thing is, I have already written the pseudocode and got my head round the testing.

    It's just this one thing that I really can't do :(

    Its called an entity relationship diagram, just draw the boxes for the classes your going to use, then add the users in the class, then you need to link the classes up with the uses, i.e class a has 1..*(1 to many) users. :)

    Nah its not entity relationship modelling, or Data Flow Diagrams, thats entirely different to structure charts :(

    Its the crap specification I have been given, far too vague!
