A Complexity Measure for Web Service

Abstract

Today Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has presented a huge of advantages such as flexibility, maintainability and integration. Therefore, many developers choose it to develop their systems. It leads to the need of evaluation of service-oriented software’s quality. In this paper, we propose a suite of complexity metrics for SOA based on Web Service Definition Language (WSDL). These metrics were tested on available Web services and compared with other metrics to prove their ability and reliability in evaluation.
