SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING BUSINESS PROCESS METRICS FROM A UML MODEL

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for extracting business process metrics from a Unified Modeling Language (UML) model. This invention involves the use of Object Constraint Language (OCL) and custom stereotypes to extract the design metrics from a UML model. The business process parameters to be measured are defined and custom stereotypes for each design element present in the business process parameters are also defined. A UML diagram is generated to represent the steps required to complete the business process. The UML diagrams are based on UML 2.0 or its higher version. The queries are written in OCL and run on the activity or sequence diagram to extract the desired metrics.
