Abstract

This paper presents a method for validating business processes with respect to business rules. The method models the process as an UML activity diagram annotated with OCL statements representing the business rules. This model is converted to an oriented graph, called control graph, which is decorated with the business rules. The model validation activity is performed by the animation of a set of scenarios, each one comprising the set of the objects required for the instance execution. Tracking each scenario animation along the control graph allows for the detection of situations that violate the correct process execution. The occurrence of these situations can be avoided by changing the process model or by introducing/altering the associated business rules.
