Abstract

Monitoring of business process execution has been proposed for the evaluation of business process performance. An important aspect to assess the thoroughness of the business process execution is to monitor if some entities have not been observed for some time and timely check if something is going wrong. We propose in this paper business process execution adequacy criteria and provide a proof-of-concept monitoring framework for their assessment. Similar to testing adequacy, the purpose of our approach is to identify the main entities of the business process that are covered during its execution and raise a warning if some entities are not covered. We provide a first assessment of the proposed approach on a case study in the learning context.
