Transactions as a Traceable Unit for Process Trace and Reuse in Case Tools

Abstract

A tracing model to dynamically capture three types of transactions viz. atomic, nested and product in CASE tools based on decisional meta-model is proposed. Tracing model is based on notion of transaction which is a traceable unit for process tracing and reuse. The starting point is development language based on decisional meta-model. The development language is used to write development programs, which in turn represent the development process followed by application engineer. Algorithms for CASE tools based on decisional meta-model are proposed to dynamically capture these processes and store them as capitalisation decisions in repository for later use by the Transaction Engineering Environment in the CASE tools.

• Development program
• Tracing model
