Validating Structural Metrics for BPEL Process Models

摘要: Business process models tend to get more and complex with age, which hurts the ease designers can understand modify them. Few metrics have been proposed measure this complexity, even fewer tested in Process Execution Language (BPEL) context. In paper, we present three related experimental studies whose aim was analyse ability of four selected structural predict BPEL model understandability modifiability. We used Spearman’s rho regression analysis all experiments. All passed correlation tests meaning that they serve as modifiability indicators. Further, test for understanding time implying predictors. Finally, only one metric modification it a predictor.
