ABSTRACT
Measurement of
business process in early stages of lifecycle, such as
design and modelling it could reduce efforts and costs in
future maintenance tasks. We have defined a set of measures
for assessing the structural complexity of business
processes models at a conceptual level. The aim is to obtain
useful information for when we are carrying out maintenance
tasks on the models and in this way to enable an early
evaluation of given quality properties of the model. A
family of experiments was carried out to empirically
validate the proposed measures. This allowed us to find a
set of measures that are useful for evaluating and
predicting aspects of external quality about the
understandability (UND) and modifiability (MOD) of
business process models.
