The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose visual modeling language in the field of software engineering consisting of an integrated set of diagrams, intended to specify, visualize, construct, and document the artifacts of a software system. But the question is whether to use UML or BPMN! A software process model is an abstract representation of the architecture, design, or definition of the software process. Through this article, we intend to address the concept of a business process and compare the two widely used process modeling notations – Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). In process modeling, a process refers to a set of activities or actions performed over some interval of time in order to accomplish, or to progress to, some goal. The word process has several denotations in the world of software. The idea is to tackle new challenges that the software industry faces each day. This is where process modeling or process management comes to the picture. But in doing so, the development teams need to cope with changing technologies and ecosystem such as understaffing which is one of the pressing concerns. The organizations are constantly working to produce higher quality products to meet the customers’ increasing demands and requirements. In Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Conceptual Modelling (ER 2005), Springer Verlag, 2005.With the increasing demands of customers, the pressure on the software industry is mounting and they are constantly looking for more complex products that are not only efficient but at the same time, easier to use.
