The purpose of Web Services Quality Factors is to provide a standard for quality factors relating to the development, usage and management of web services.
Web services usually have a number of distinguishing characteristics: they are service-oriented, network-based, variously bind-able, loosely-coupled, platform independent, and standard-protocol based. As a result, a web service system requires quality factors unlike those that apply to installation-based software. For example, since the quality of web services can be altered in real-time by the service provider, considering real-time properties of web services is a meaningful factor in describing the quality of a service.
This document presents quality factors for web services with definitions, classifications, and sub-factors case by case. For each quality factor, related specifications are cited with a brief explanation of each. This specification can also be extended to define the quality of SOA systems as well.
