Error Metrics for Business Process Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Little research has been conducted so far on causes for errors in business process models. In this paper we investigate on how mainly domain independent factors such as the size or complexity of models influence errors observed in a wide range of existing business process models. In particular, we provide a set of six metrics presumably related to the comprehensibility of both the process model structure and the process state space, and discuss their capability to predict errors in the SAP reference model. The results show that already the three metrics size, separability, and structuredness suffice to achieve a high Nagelkerke R value of 0.853 demonstrating a good predictive efficacy.

Quality Metrics for Business Process Models
In the area of software engineering, quality metrics have shown their importance for good programming practices and software designs. A design developed by the help of these metrics (e.g. coupling, cohesion, complexity, modularity and size) as guiding principals is likely to be less error-prone, easy to understand, maintain, and manage, and is more efficient. Several researchers already identif...
متن کاملStructuredness and its significance for correctness of process models
Recent research has shown that business process models from practice suffer from several quality problems. In particular, the correctness of control flow has been analyzed for industry-scale collections of process models revealing that error ratios are surprisingly high. In the past the structuredness property has been discussed as a guideline to avoid errors, first in research on programming, ...

متن کاملApplying Software Metrics to evaluate Business Process Models
In this paper, we define a set of metrics for the evaluation of conceptual models of business processes. The proposal supposes the adaptation and extension of the FMESP framework (Framework for the Modeling and Evaluation of Software Processes). This adaptation can be carried out thanks to the similarities that exist between both types of processes (software and business). FMESP includes a set ...
متن کاملDetection and Prediction of Errors in EPC Business Process Models
Business process modeling plays an important role in the management of business processes. As valuable design artifacts, business process models are subject to quality considerations. In this context, the absence of formal errors, such as deadlocks, is of paramount importance for the subsequent implementation of the process. This doctoral thesis provides a fourfold contribution to the understan...
