Abstract

The business process model and notation (BPMN) standard provides notations in the form of diagrams, which are clearly legible for the needs of internal organizations and facilitate collaboration between enterprise components. The problem is how to find a transformation solution between the BPMN and the UML (Unified modeling language) to benefit from the simplicity of the BPMN on the one hand, the stability and the widespread UML on the other hand. We work to have a high-performance solution within the framework of model-driven architecture (MDA) that saves time, cost and quality of the software. This article represents a transformation method that allows us to go through the BPMN business process diagram to arrive at the UML class diagram, finally, to generate the code automatically by using the query views transformations (QVT) transformation language, and this transformation is a fruitful combination between the trades side and the computer side.
