Abstract:
For achieving a flexible and maintainable IT, companies increasingly design their IT architecture in a service-oriented manner using web services. As the effectiveness of this transition is influenced by the design of the architecture, patterns and best-practices have been evolved that are expected to be considered during the development process. However, reviewing the architecture regarding these guidelines is complex and time-consuming as a lot of interpretation and calculation has to be performed. This article introduces an approach for efficiently measuring design quality with a focus on the service layer, thus the service interface and service component design. To illustrate the approach, services of an automotive scenario are developed using a product that integrates the introduced concepts.
