It focuses on extracting user stories and Gherkin scenarios from BPMN process models using transformation patterns and templates. A tool was developed to automate this process, validated through qualitative expert evaluation, confirming its utility and accuracy. The approach enhances organizational communication and collaboration between business and information technology teams, improving efficiency in requirements elicitation. Future enhancements aim to broaden transformation patterns and tool functionalities to encompass additional BPMN artifacts. This study emphasizes innovation in bridging business process modeling and agile development, highlighting advancements in automating requirements elicitation.262299083engAgile developmentAutomationBPMNBusiness process modelingGherkin scenariosRequirements engineeringTransformation patternsUser storiesGeneral Materials ScienceInstrumentationGeneral EngineeringProcess Chemistry and TechnologyComputer Science ApplicationsFluid Flow and Transfer Processesjournal article10.3390/app15179434https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/105015468796https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:001569572300001
