Abstract:
The switch to a service-oriented architecture is often associated with strategic goals, such as an increased flexibility and maintainability of the IT architecture. The design of the services as building blocks directly influences the achievement of these goals. For that reason, in recent years best practices and patterns have evolved that describe how to design services and how to implement them by means of web service technologies. However, the best practices and patterns that focus on the architectural issues are often too abstract to be verified on concrete web service artifacts. Previous work describes how these best practices and patterns can be broken down into measurable quality indicators. This article shows a query-based approach for a static analysis to measure these quality indicators on implemented web services. To illustrate the approach, services of an automotive scenario are developed using a product that realizes the introduced concepts.
