req-fn-app-state-transition-diagram

To define state transitions, specify all possible statuses with consistent values and display names for domain objects like orders or memberships, then define the exact events or triggers that move an entity from one state to another. This eliminates ambiguity in requirements.

Generate a state transition diagram by first choosing your format, either Mermaid (stateDiagram-v2) or draw.io, then describing the entity's statuses, triggers, initial state, and end states. The diagram is produced alongside a transition-condition table for review.

A state transition diagram is used in business process design to accurately visualize and document the finite states of an entity and the exact conditions that move it between states. It helps reduce ambiguity during requirement implementation and workflow updates.

Yes, you can check for missing or isolated states. After generating the diagram and transition-condition table, a checklist-based consistency review is performed to catch unreachable states, verify naming alignment, and ensure overall workflow completeness.

Choose Mermaid (stateDiagram-v2) for text-based documentation or draw.io for visual diagram editing. Both formats are supported to generate the state transition diagram and transition-condition table, depending on your workflow integration needs.
