Quantification of Maintainability in Service-Oriented Architecture

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) promotes the use of modular., reusable., and interoperable services. This paper talks about the difficult problems in keeping systems that use SOA. One challenge is when there are different versions of services working at the same time and can cause problems because they might not work well together. Another challenge is making sure that services can adjust to new requirements while still working correctly. The complicated task of handling how services depend on each other in a changing and growing environment is discussed in this paper. This paper talks about the difficulties in keeping SOA systems working well and measures how easy it is to maintain those using different practical aspects. It looks at groups that focus on the quality of software and examines metrics (measurements) related to how easy it is to maintain the SOA. Paper also discusses regular ways of fixing and taking care of SOA and explores how soft computing technique is used in these situations.
