Abstract
Any change in the software based on business logic affects all MDA levels: CIM, PIM and PSM. This paper provides an approach to refine and validate CIM for enabling a premature customer’s validation. We propose a set of rules for generating BPMN Model from use cases model which represent both of them our CIM. This transformation uses SBVR as an intermediate step. Firstly, we generate SBVR model from use case model and its textual description and secondly we transform it to BPMN model. SBVR represents the axe of the CIM refinement cycle, which is based on a natural language that is easily comprehensible and usable by business people and easily can be machine processed. Validated and refined CIM’s achieves a high customer satisfaction, and allowing a better vision of the product as the customer expects.
