BUSINESS PROCESS VALIDATION - Testing Before Designing

Abstract

Rather than testing at the end of software projects, with subsequent need to redesign major parts, the Business Process Validation (BPV) method aims at systematic testing from the start of a project, already in the requirements phase, up to final delivery. It embraces three phases: Transformation Model, Service Object Model, & IT/AO Model. The core of the Service Object Mode are classification trees, based on initial ideas as laid down in the Transformation Model. A prototype of a software tool to automate the classification tree construction, has been developed as part of a Masters Thesis project. First tests resulted for small projects in no significant time reduction. However, for larger ones a time reduction of over 50% is achieved compared to development of the classification trees by hand, while for all projects several automated consistency checks can be performed. Real life tests are underway for the coming months.
