Modeling business processes to generate artifacts for software development: a methodology

Abstract

When business processes are to be automated by an information system, business process knowledge is required in many ways throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). Frequently, analysis is repeated to recapture this knowledge resulting in duplicate effort and inconsistent artifacts. We present our unified business process modeling methodology, UPROM that is used to generate various artifacts from business process models developed in conformance with its notation and approach. Together with business process models, the artifacts are user requirements document, software size estimation, process metrics list, process definition document and business glossary. These artifacts are easily maintainable as they originate from a single source and generated automatically by a tool. The methodology is applied in three case studies and summary of results is provided.
