Systematic mapping study of quality attributes measurement in service oriented architecture

Abstract

Background: Service oriented architecture (SOA) promotes software reuse and interoperability as its niche. Developer usually expects that services being used are performing as promised. Capability to measure quality of services helps developer to predict the software behavior. Measuring quality attributes of software can be treated as a way to ensure that the developed software will/does meet expected qualities. Objectives: This study investigates the state-of-art in quality attributes measurement for service oriented architecture. It will try to answer on type of studies that have been done regarding quality attributes measurement over service oriented architecture. Method: Systematic mapping study is selected as method for this study where primary studies related to quality attributes measurement are chosen and analyzed based on research questions. Result: Based on research questions, results of this mapping study shows, performance as highly seek quality attributes in this fields, where measurement technique that mostly used is metric and finally the measurement usually done on service level. Conclusion: this study is initiated to seek for how studies on quality attributes measurement in service oriented architecture has mature during these recent years. The result shows an up and down trends regarding number of studies whilst a lot of research gap can still be covered for future researches
