Abstract

Understanding businesses and how they work can help software engineers build systems that really meet the corresponding business goals. For instance, methods such as the Rational Unified Process (RUP) include activities to model a business before eliciting requirements. However, during our software development practice in academic and ”real-life” projects, we found problems using these artefacts with stakeholders. Here we present our experience on integrating BPMN (Business Process Modeling and Notation) diagrams with RUP, aiming to improve the elicitation of software requirements. These diagrams appeared to be easier to understand by stakeholders. The current paper discusses the challenges we faced in using RUP and the way in which we integrate conceptual maps and BPMN into the process. In addition, we illustrate the changes using models that reflect real project implementations realized by using this approach.
