“…Integrating the approach presented herein and the approach proposed in (Cruz et al, 2015) it is possible to generate the use case model, software logical architectures and the data model based in a set of business process models. The derived software models can be used as bases to the development of the software that will support the business, helping to ensure the alignment between business process models and software models (Cruz et al, 2014a). In a BPMN model, a sub-process may be used to describe the common part of different process models.…”

Requirements elicitation is a crucial activity and one of the first steps in software development process. A popular way to capture and describe requirements is through UML use case models. Transforming requirement specifications into software design models is a complex and error prone software development activity. Software design usually involves several models, each one representing a different perspective. One of those perspectives is the data perspective which can be modeled using a data model. Although of the importance of this model, few works has been done to derive a data model from use case model. The 4SRS (4-Step Rule Set) method generates a logical architecture of a software-based system, based on a use case model. This paper proposes an approach to adapt and extend the 4SRS method in order to generate a data model supporting the generated logical architecture and the elicited requirements based in a set of business process models.

“…It is recognized that detailed information about business processes can help to ensure that the software under development will really meet business needs (Mili et al, 2003;Giaglis, 2001;Cruz et al, 2014a). BPMN has increased its importance as a business process modeling language and it is becoming more complete.…”

“…This approach also complements the approaches presented in (Cruz et al, 2014b;Cruz et al, 2015) by aggregating in one data model the data involved on the same group of business processes used to generate the use case model. This way we have the software requirements identification (use case model) and the data model based on the same set of business processes, serving as starting point to the development of the software that will support the processes and assuring that the data model supports the identified requirements (Cruz et al, 2014a).…”

Business process modeling and management approaches are increasingly used and disclosed between organizations as a means of optimizing and streamlining the business activities. A business process model identifies the activities, resources and data involved in the creation of a product or service, having lots of useful information that can be used to create a data model for the supporting software system. A data model is one of the most important models used in software development. Usually an organization deals with several business processes. As a consequence a software product does not usually support only one business process, but rather a set of business processes. This paper proposes an approach to generate a data model, based on a set of interrelated business processes, modeled in BPMN language. The approach allows aggregating in one data model all the information about persistent data that can be extracted from the set of business process models serving as a basis for the software development.

Alignment is a very wide subject that can be used to support an organization’s information system. Many authors have dealt with this topic according to various dimensions, including the operational alignment dimension. Our work aims to review approaches that discuss the operational alignment by reducing the gap between business requirement, business process, and software system. Therefore, this study was conducted by a systematic literature review (SLR). In the first step, we gather 1846 papers relative to the subject. In the last step, we filter those articles and select only the most pertinent ones, which leave us with 63 studies to focus on. These primary studies were analyzed according to 9 quality assessment criteria.
