This tool is called BPMMETool (Business Process Model Measurement and Evaluation Tool) and it can read BP
models, which have to be defined in BPMN, the de facto standard for BP modeling.
The main functionalities are the following:
•
BP model measurement. The predefined measures applied are those described by Rolón, Mendling and
Cardoso, but new measures can be included by the user.
•
Adaptation to new input formats. The tool can be configured to be able to read different serialization
notations of BP models. In this line, models from the BPMN 1.0 version can be both measures and the
models described in BPMN 2.0
•
Definition of new measures. This component permits the creation of new measures, and an expression
evaluator indicates if the new definition is appropriate.
•
Definition of indicators. New indicators can be included for their application. The definition of new
indicators implies the inclusion of decision criteria.
•
Representation of measurement results. The tool allows the different results of the BP model or
previous measurement results to be represented in different types of charts, as histograms.
•
Advice for BP model redesign. After calculating the measures in the specific BP model, the tool shows
which thresholds have been exceeded and how the model can be redesign.
