Tool surveys on BPM tools often provide masses of detailed information which are not well presented. This makes studies of such surveys a very tedious and time consuming task, since readers get lost in the pure mass of details.

As a problem mentioned above, this thesis introduces the state of the art in performing survey in order to solve the problem called RIOT: ?Rapid, Iterative and Off-the-shelf Tool-Evaluation?, which is the new approach bases on detailed surveys but focuses on the target audience and how to best present information. Hence, RIOT takes into consideration scenarios and stakeholders in order to correspond with user?s actual needs.

Moreover, we subdivided this approach into phases, tailored each to human attention span, and combined active and passive parts. Through that, we claim, that a user will be able to evaluate much more efficiently and will not need more than ten minutes for evaluating each phase.

As a result, the criteria for selecting the tools has been created, and the stakeholders who involve in business process modeling tool and their interest are taken into considered. Moreover the selected business process modeling tool has been evaluated along the checklist of their features. Then a website for getting information of the tools, and tool suggestion feature are created. Finally, the free-trial version of the BPM tools with default BPMN are stored in virtual machine for this evaluation approach.
