Assessing the Quality of Candidate Software Services Generated Using Service Identification Approaches
Service identification (SI) is one of the challenging activities in developing service oriented models. Many service identification approaches have been proposed in literature. However, the literature lacks enough research in the field of assessing the quality of the candidate services identified using such approaches. Most of the available techniques to validate SI approaches are theoretical in nature and uses case studies and/or examples to explain the approachs features. In this paper, we present a framework to assess the quality of services identified using SI approaches. This framework is used to assess the granularity level, reusability, statelessness, composability, cohesion and low coupling of the identified services. The assessment framework is demonstrated using a real case study from the healthcare domain.
