Software development methodology system for implementing business processes

摘要

A software development tool for developing software that implements a customer's business processes. The software development tool determines a plurality of models to define the software to be developed, wherein at least one model of the plurality of models is a business model that comprises at least one business process, and the at least one business process is a set of interrelated business process paths that accomplish a business goal. The software development tool defines at least one business process path, wherein the at least one business process path is a route through the at least one business process taken during a single execution of the at least one business process, and the at least one business process path comprises at least one step. The software development tool maps the defined at least one business process path to a second model different than the business model, wherein the mapping identifies at least one part of the second model that implements the at least one step of the business process path. The software development tool builds the at least one business process path based on results of the mapping. The software development tool delivers the at least one business process path that has been built.
