“…A survey of existing software metrics can be found in e.g. Kafura (1985) and Vaishnavi et al (2007). A number of studies demonstrate the significant correlation of software quality metrics with errors in the software design, for instance Kang and Bieman (1999); Selby and Basili (1991); Shen et al (1985).…”

Recent research has shown that business process models from practice suffer from several quality problems. In particular, the correctness of control flow has been analyzed for industry-scale collections of process models revealing that error ratios are surprisingly high. In the past the structuredness property has been discussed as a guideline to avoid errors, first in research on programming, and later also in business process modeling. In this paper we investigate the importance of structuredness for process model correctness from an empirical perspective. We introduce definitions of two metrics that quantify the (un)structuredness of a process model, the degree of structuredness and the unmatched connector count. Then, we use the event-driven process chain models of the SAP reference model for validating the capability of these metrics to predict error probability. Our findings clearly support the importance of structuredness as a design principle for achieving correctness in process models.

“…Over time, future research will reject or prove the accuracy of the proposed framework. As the literature on this topic is extremely fragmented and mainly published in conference proceedings or small-audience journals that are difficult to obtain, it is impossible -albeit highly desirable -to try to populate the framework and then validate it by verifying the necessary condition and the sufficiency condition [50]. Nevertheless, useful conclusions can be drawn from this classification framework.…”
