What is structured analysis and design

- Structured design defines structured steps in software development process, starting from planning, analysis, design,
implementation, and supporting.
- Structured analysis defines and clarifies user and system requirements

Logical vs physical design

- Logical design illustrates the specific entities, attributes and relationships involved. (description)
- Physical design represents an application and database-specific implementation of a logical data model.

What is an ERD

- Entity relationship diagram which represents a logical representation of the data of an organisation or business area

Entities
- Entities is a collection of things that share common properties of characteristics. The entity type is given a name which is
always singular. Example like customer, supplier, product, employee, and student.

What is primary key


- One attribute whose value can uniquely identify a complete record or one row of data within an entity.
- Primary key cannot be empty or null and it does not change.
What is foreign key

- A copy of primary key that exists in another entity for the purpose of forming relationship between the entities involved

Relationships

- Relationships are usually verbs such as assign, associate, or track and provide useful information that could not be
discerned with just the entity types. Relationships are associations between or among entities.

Create an ERD based on the case given in the next slide. (Student Testing System)
Include ALL elements required by the diagram, including attributes and their types
