Abstract

Measurement is an important part of the characterization of a process and the context in which it should be used and reused. We discuss our experience using process modeling to support process/product measurement. We briefly introduce APEX, a process modeling and simulation tool that embeds a Petri net representation in a discrete event simulation environment. Then, we discuss how process modeling and simulation with APEX supports experimentation with aspects of a measurement plan, and allows the evaluation and refinement of a plan prior to its deployment.
