In this article, we present the prototype of a modeling tool that applies graph-based rules for identifying problems in business process models. The advantage of our approach is twofold. First, it is unnecessary to compute the complete state space of the model to find errors. Second, our technique can even be applied to incomplete business process models. Thus, the modeler can be supported by direct feedback during the model construction. This feedback not only reports problems, but also identifies their reasons and gives suggestions for improvement.

In this article, we demonstrate the prototype of a modeling tool that applies graph-based validation rules for identifying errors and weaknesses in business process models. The validation approach works on incomplete business process models and without computing the complete state space of process models. Thus, the modeler can be supported by direct feedback during the model construction, including error reasons and improvement suggestions. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
