Module Tier

Generalizing data flow information to the module tier is meant to show how data flows between distinct modules. As with each step in the generalization process, the module tier data flow paths lose much of the information that is conveyed at more specific tiers. Figure 10 shows module tier data flow paths that would be defined when generalizing the data type data flow paths illustrated in figure 9.

Figure 10: Module tier data flow paths obtained by generalizing the data type tier data flow paths. The context for these data flow paths is the Company.dll module.
