Software with service oriented architecture quality assessment

Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming popular since its flexibility fulfill the need of rapidly changing enterprise requirement. Therefore, expectation of a good quality software with SOA is getting higher. To address this need, this paper presents a guideline to conduct quality assessment using an existing tool. The quality assessment model is designed by selectingthe relevant quality factors, choosing an appropriate quality to metric mapping method, identifying the relevant metrics, and mappingeach quality factor to the metrics.Using the model, the quality assessment process is prepared by identifying data and selecting the appropriate tools.The chosen tool may require some modification.The proposed quality assessmentguideline can help the software quality assurance team to assessquality of their software with SOA. The proposed guideline has been used to assess the quality of an existing sofware with SOA (Bonita BPM). The result is considered as promising, although several improvement are still needed.

Devising a Usability Development Life Cycle (UDLC) Model for Enhancing Usability and User Experience in Interactive Applications

“…Lung has proposed a method for measuring the usability of cloud services [45]. Aminah et al, have designed a model for the quality assessment of software with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) [46]. Bessghaier et al, have performed the usability evaluation of those mobile applications which are hybrid in nature [47].…”

An extensible data-driven approach for evaluating the quality of microservice architectures

“…In this work, the definition of quality attributes is based on the QUA Model [28]. Nuraini and Widyani present a quality assessment methodology [18] based on the use of SOA-QEM as quality model. The quality attributes are mapped to basic metrics, which are evaluated on the source code with the use of an external tool.…”
