Abstract

This invited workshop Methods for evaluating the quality of process modelling tools was a part of EOMAS 2018. Workshop dealt with the comparison of BPMN and BORM process modelling tools in the form of Usability study. We practically presented the methods used to compare, defined the appropriate equipment of the laboratory and proposed the CASE study model. We hired participants (from the audience) and we used Tobii Glasses for eyes tracking and recording the participants focus. This technology has been used by authors in previous years to find a measure of quality of process models, and this year has been demonstrated and applied on BPMN and DEMO models.
