Predicting Web Service Maintainability via Object-Oriented Metrics: A Statistics-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Service-Oriented Computing paradigm enables the construction of distributed systems by assembling loosely coupled pieces of software called services, which have clear interfaces to their functionalities. Service interface descriptions have many aspects, such as complexity and quality, all of which can be measured. This paper presents empirical evidence showing that services interfaces maintainability can be predicted by applying traditional software metrics in service implementations. A total of 11 source code level metrics and 5 service interface metrics have been statistically correlated using 154 real world services.

Predicting Maintainability with Object-Oriented Metrics - An Empirical Comparison
A large number of metrics have been proposed for measuring properties of object-oriented software such as size, inheritance, cohesion and coupling. We have been investigating which of these object-oriented metrics can be used as significant predictors for the maintainability of software. For this purpose, we have designed and conducted an empirical study based on historical data collected from ...

The Metrics Group of Virginia Tech has been studying the object oriented paradigm and how it relates to software maintainability and software reusability in an attempt to make programmers more productive. Software reuse is the key to increasing productivity within the software development process. By reusing existing software, time and effort are saved in the testing and maintenance phases of a...

Service-oriented architecture is nowadays widely adopted as modern approach for development of enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise distributed applications. From the software engineering point of view, these applications resemble some features of formerly known component-based and object-oriented software systems and web applications, but the differences are substantial enough to make it impos...

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is currently the predominant software integration framework. Web services provide the predominant platform for SOA. SOA as an integration architecture solution supports a range of application scenarios. We present a solution for the integration of business information systems based on SOA and Web services. We discuss maintainability requirements in relation t...
