System Design Tools Algorithm and Flowcharts Systems and Program Flowcharts

The document discusses system design tools, including diagramming, cloud architecture, collaboration, wireframing, and modeling tools, which aid in visualizing and documenting complex systems. It explains algorithms as step-by-step processes and flowcharts as graphical representations of these processes, highlighting their advantages. Additionally, it compares system flowcharts, which provide a high-level overview of data flow, with program flowcharts, which detail the specific execution of a program.

System vs Program flowcharts.
System Design Tools
• System design tools are software applications that help
architects, engineers, and developers visualize, plan,
and document complex systems. These tools facilitate
the creation of system architecture diagrams,
flowcharts, network topologies, and other
representations of how components interact within a
system. They are essential for designing scalable,
efficient, and maintainable systems.
Types of System Design Tools.
1.Diagramming Tools : Used to create flowcharts, architecture
diagrams, and network designs. Examples: Draw.io, Lucidchart,
Microsoft Visio.
2.Cloud Architecture Tools : Provide templates and components to
design cloud-based systems. Examples: AWS Architecture Diagram
Tool, Azure Architecture Center.
3.Collaboration & Whiteboarding Tools : Enable real-time
brainstorming and system sketching. Examples: Miro, Excalidraw.
4.Wireframing & UI/UX Tools : Help design user interfaces and
workflows before implementation. Examples: Figma, Whimsical.
5.Modeling & Specification Tools : Support structured system
modeling using formal languages like UML (Unified Modeling
Language). Examples: PlantUML, Enterprise Architect.
Algorithm and Flowcharts.
Algorithm : An Algorithm is a description of how to carry out
a process. An algorithm lists the steps that must ne followed
to complete the process. Algorithm can be described in
English but such description are often ambiguous and open
to misunderstanding. Therefore various formal methods of
describing algorithms have been developed.
• Input and output should be defined precisely.
• Each steps in the algorithm should be clear and
unambiguous.
• Algorithms should be most effective among many different
ways to solve a problem.
• An algorithm shouldn’t include computer code. Instead ,
the algorithm should be written in such a way that it can be
Example Algorithm for addition for
two numbers.
• Step 1 : start
• Step 2 : Read any two numbers as a and b
• Step 3 : add a and b and store it into c i.e. c=a+b
• Step 4 : display c
• Step 5 : stop
• A Flowchart is simply a graphical representation of steps.
It shows in sequential order and is widely used in
presenting the flow of algorithm, workflow or processes.
Typically, a flowchart shows the steps as boxes of various
kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows.
Advantage of flowchart :
i. It represents the data flow.
ii. It provides .a clear overview of the entire program and
problem and solution.
iii.It checks the accuracy in logic flow.
iv. It document the steps followed in an algorithm.
v. It provides the facility for coding.
vi.They shows all major elements and their relationship.
vii.It provides the way of modification of running program.
System vs Program flowchart.
• A system flowchart and a program flowchart are both
diagrammatic tools used in system design and
development, but they serve different purposes and
operate at different levels of abstraction.
Here’s the comparison :
