Business Process Models as a Foundation for High-Fidelity-Prototypes of Mobile Enterprise Applications

摘要

Mobile Enterprise Applications are becoming more and more relevant to enterprises as the dissemination of smartphones has risen over the last decade. However, developing these applications is a very challenging and resource-intensive task. In this context, prototyping can lead to several benefits, including a better app usability. While Mobile Enterprise Applications are often used to support or carry out business processes, no prototyping approach exists that is based on business process models. In this paper, we present a tool that fills this gap. The tool uses a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) model annotated with screen designs as a source for generating a prototype. The prototype is integrated with a business process execution engine that runs the business process.
