Integração de modelos de processos de negócio com modelos de requisitos de software : um caso na área de saúde

Abstract

The first steps in the software development life cycle are crucial for a successful software product. In this scenario, modeling activities play an important role in the requirements specification and other activities throughout the Project. Although the modeling activities of business processes and activities related to Requirements Engineering are recognized as important individually, some approaches have considered the integration of these activities. In this context, this master thesis proposes an approach and corresponding guidelines for integration of modeling software requirements with SysML and modeling of business processes and workflows with the support of BPMN. This relationship is represented with both graphical models and tabular format. Therefore, software developers can track business processes and software requirements already during the initial activities of the software development process. The proposed approach has been presented to a group of systems analysts, university professors and master students. These participants answered to a questionnaire based on TAM theory mostly agreeing that integrating BPMN and SysML will contribute positively for documentation , validation and tracking requirements. Despite their interest in learning more about the two languages, they declared di culty in performing integration and the cost to use this proposal in projects in industry. This work has also presented a report of the experience in HU / UFS and a guide to integration of BPMN and SysML to assist the development of a patient’s Electronic Health Record in a public hospital.
