COMPARISON OF BUSINESS PROCESSES MODELING IN VARIOUS PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS

V diplomskem delu smo se osredotočili na zastonjska in plačljiva orodja, ki podpirajo modeliranje v grafični notaciji za modeliranje poslovnih procesov BPMN. Na začetku smo podrobneje predstavili notacijo BPMN in si ogledali razlike med posameznimi različicami. Orodja, ki podpirajo BPMN, smo razdelili v tri skupine: 1) namenska spletna (Signavio Process Editor), 2) namenska namizna (BizAgi Process Modeler) in 3) splošna namizna (Visio 2007). Za vsako skupino smo podrobneje predstavili kandidata, kjer smo ugotavljali njegove prednosti in slabosti. Uporabnost, enostavnost uporabe in učinkovitost predstavnikov skupin smo ugotavljali pri preizkusu, kjer je sodelovalo 129 študentov. Rezultate smo analizirali in ugotovitve praktično uporabili pri vrednotenju variant v odločitvenem modelu, katerega smo izdelali za ugotavljanje najprimernejšega orodja pri skupinskem modeliranju. Na koncu smo povzeli rezultate raziskave in sprejeli oziroma zavrnili hipoteze, postavljene na začetku.The thesis focuses on free or payable tools that support modeling in the graphical notation for modeling of BPMN business processes. The beginning gives a more detailed presentation of the BPMN notation along with the differences between specific versions. The tools that support BPMN were divided into three groups: 1) specialized online (Signavio Process Editor), 2) specialized desktop (BizAgi Process Modeler) and 3) general desktop (Visio 2007). A more detailed description of a representative is given for each group, where its strengths and weaknesses are determined. Usability, simplicity of use and efficiency of group representatives were determined with a test, where 129 students participated. The results were analyzed and the findings were used for evaluation of variants in the decisive model, which was produced for determining the most suitable tools for group modeling. At the end, the research results are summarized and the initial hypotheses are confirmed or rejected
