Taking into account the current role of modelling at organizational levels, the quality of business process models (i.e., models that indicate how to achieve business objectives) is an essential aspect for the development and technological support of any organization. Based on the hypothesis that the quality of business process models in the BPMN notation can be automatically analyzed, in this work we propose an extension of a code-quality software platform (the SonarQube project) through a complement that allows the quality of these models to be validated. This paper reports the guidelines and quality metrics that were used to evaluate BPMN models. Then the SonarQube code evaluation platform and a plugin that was created in this work (which contains the identified metrics) was used to automatically obtain values of the technical debt from BPMN models.
