Resumo: The Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN 2.0) is a specification issued by the Ob- ject Management Group (OMG) widely used in Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). It defines a graphical language for modelling business processes as well as an XML serialization of it that should enable model interchange between different modelling tools. This work evaluates 12 BPMS, regarding the support of the BPMN 2.0 graphical palette and the conformance of the diagrams exported with the tools to the normative XML Schemas defined by the specification. Four reference business processes of increasing complexity, designed according to an already existing taxonomy of processes from the literature, are used as benchmarks. The results of the study show that most tools offer only a partial support of the BPMN 2.0 palette. Only one tool allows the mod- elling of all reference processes with minor limitations. Moreover, most exported files contained errors with respect to the XML Schemas from the OMG. All in all, the capabilities of most evaluated tools are clearly not sufficient to practically enable a robust interchange of models between tools. The report ends by highlighting the limitations of this study and by providing recommendations for future evaluations of BPMN 2.0 conformance in tools. This document is a comprehensive summary of the work presented in [11].
