Enterprise models have the potential to constitute a valuable asset for organizations, e.g., in terms of enabling a variety of analyses. A prerequisite for realizing this potential is that an enterprise model is syntactically, semantically and pragmatically valid. To ensure these three types of validity, verification and validation (V&V) mechanisms are required to be in place while designing the enterprise modeling method, e.g., to validate identified requirements, to check created enterprise models against syntactic rules, or to ensure intra- and inter-model consistency. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to systematically embed verification and validation (V&V) techniques into the design of (enterprise) domain-specific modeling methods (DSMMs). To this end, we integrate steps and considerations of well-established DSMM engineering processes, and enrich them with V&V techniques based upon our earlier experiences and a literature analysis.
