BPM in Software Processes

Software development organizations need to continuously comprehend and
improve the software processes they use. A common manner to foster
comprehension is through modelling, a technique that allows the
representation of several interrelated concepts. Moreover, models and their
associated model instances are subject to automatic reasoning, which can be
used to detect inconsistencies. BPM (Business Process Management) is a known
discipline in business that uses a common process specification language,
BPMN (Business Process and Notation), associated with a set of tools to help
process management, execution, analyzing and optimization. As a result using
BPMN and BPM in the context of Software Development Process (SDP) can
leverage on the BPMN’s infrastructure to improve SDP quality and
comprehension. This presentation will discuss the expected benefits of using
BPM in the context of Software Development and also introduce the
infrastructure that is under development by our research team.
