Assessing Quality by Anti-pattern Detection in Web Services

Abstract

Design pattern plays an important role in development of a good quality software system. Service oriented architecture forms the basis for designing web services. Web services must be carefully designed taking into consideration the quality of service parameters like delay, throughput, reliability and cost. In order to maintain QOS design patterns should be analyzed to detect antipatterns, which can hinder the quality of software system. An antipattern is something, which initially appears like a good indication but creates negative results .The analysis can be done on the basis of several metrics. The paper takes into consideration the web service description files collected from various reliable sources and analyze the same based on static metric content. The static metrics used in this research paper are standard CKJM metrics. The future scope of the paper will focus on detection of antipattern based on dynamic metrics e.g. response time.
