Abstract
An approach for matching UML (Unified Modeling Language) class diagram to OCL (Object Constraints Language) constraints of that specific class model is presented in this research paper. Class diagram describe the structure of the system and responsibilities. OCL is a language that defines rules that apply on class model. For matching the OCL (Object Constraints Language) to class model we need SBVR tool because SBVR is generated from system’s constraints. If OCL invariants and SBVR vocabulary is different than there is major error exist in software. SBVR (Symantec Business Verification Rules) tool provide SBVR vocabulary and that vocabulary and OCL elements are used for matching. However, manual matching not only difficult but it is time consuming and costly. This paper provides automated approach that checks automatically system constraints (that is written in OCL) using business rules (that is written in SBVR (Symantec Business Verification Rules)). This approach can help to check efficiently SBVR rules and OCL constraints and consume less time and effort.
