Abstract: A process modeling rule validation system includes a graphical user interface module and a rule creation module. The graphical user interface module includes a display and at least one user input mechanism. The graphical user interface module displays information representative of a plurality of rule creation elements via the display and receives user input via the user input mechanism in response thereto. At least one of the rule creation elements can be configured based on the user input and in accordance with best practices in process modeling. The rule creation module, which is operatively connected to the graphical user interface module, generates a process modeling rule in response to at least one of the rule creation elements being configured.

Abstract: A plurality of icons are presented via a graphical user interface, each of the icons representative of a template component that incorporates component-specific constraints representative of best practices in integration software development projects. Configuration information in response to configuration prompts related to a selected icon is received. In order to enforce best practices on the integration software development project, the configuration information may be compared with the component-specific constraints such that an error indication is displayed via the graphical user interface whenever the configuration information does not compare favorably with the component-specific constraints. Receipt of the selection information also causes an instance of the template component corresponding to the icon to be created, with the resulting instantiated component configured according to the configuration information.
