=== Top down approach ===
The structured analysis and design technique uses a decomposition with the [[Top-down and bottom-up design|top-down approach]]. This decomposition is conducted only in the physical ___domain from an axiomatic design viewpoint. Because of this nonzigzagging process, there is no guarantee of functionality or productivity. Therefore, those methods faded away as the requirements for software systems increased and the object-oriented method was introduced.<ref> Nam Pyo Suh (2007).

=== Diagrams ===
SADT uses two types of diagrams: [[activity model]]s and [[data model]]s. It uses arrows to build these diagrams.
The SADT’s representation is the following:
