Insights from a dataset on behavioral intentions in learning information flow diagram capability for software design.

Developing complex software may be difficult for students or those with less technical expertise in software design due to the large number of diagrams and the complexity of their relationships. Unified modeling language (UML) provides conceptual software design as a system's blueprints, including programming statements, software processes, software components, deployment, design, and development, whereas database schemas use UML for an object-oriented database and entity relation model (ERD) for a relational database. An information flow diagram (IFD) is a technical tool for designing software that includes Infrastructure, data and information, and processing flow.
