To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/604899#604899 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I am doing a research for my thesis about metrics in Process Modelers. As we know, this metrics are used to measure the quality of a business process model. A paper by Volker Gruhn and Ralf Laue from University of Leipzig, Germany explains the corresponding metric for BPM. Here is a short explanation about it: * LOC (code, software complexity metric) ~ number of activities (BPM) * cyclomatic number (software complexity metric) ~ Control Flow Complexity by Cardoso (BPM): measures the number of possible control flow decisions, * Max / Mean. nested depth: provides information about structure, * knot count (software complexity metric) ~ number of handles: measure of "well-structuredness" * cognitive weight (software complexity metric) ~ cognitive weight tailored for BPM: measures the cognitive effort to understand a model, indicates redesign possibilities * (Anti) Patterns (software complexity metric) ~ (Anti) Paterns for BPM: can help to detect poor modeling * Fan-in / Fan-out : can indicate poor modularization. My questions are: 1. How jBPM validate a model? 2. What or which metric(s) used in jBPM corresponds (or not) to those metrics above ? Thank You. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/604899#604899] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
