security, confidentiality, and privacy concerns - 21Common Errors Made when drawing Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)1.Forgetting to include a dataflow or pointing an arrow in the wrong direction
2. Connecting data stores and external entities directly to each other
3. incorrectly labeling processes or data flow
4. including more than nine processes on a DFD
5. Omitting data flow
6. Creating unbalanced decomposition in child diagram. should have same I/O data flow as parent. - 22Physical Considerations in HCI Design1. length of distance from display to person performing a task.
2. angle of display in relation to the person viewing it. - 23Choosing and Evaluating Interfaces List of standards1, Necessary training period should be short

- 29should be so that it is changed with accomplishing only one functionfunctionally cohesive
- 30recommended tool for designing a modular, top-down system.structure chart
- 31analyst should keep this coupling to a minimum the fewer data couples and control flags one has in the system the easier it is to changedata couples and control flags
