Subject: Public Review of Web Services Quality Factors Version 1.0


To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:

The OASIS Web Services Quality Model TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:

Web Services Quality Factors Version 1.0

  The purpose of this document is to provide the standard for quality factors of web services in their development, usage and management. Web services usually have distinguished 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 its own quality factors unlike installation-based software. For instance, as the quality of web services can be altered in real-time according to the change of the service provider, considering real-time property of web services is very meaningful in describing the web services quality. This document presents the quality factors of web services with definition, classification, and sub-factors case by case. For each quality factor, related specifications annexed with a brief explanation. This specification can be generally extended to the definition of quality of SOA and provide the foundation for quality in the SOA system. 

The public review starts today, 22 July 2010, and ends 20 September 2010. This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work. We also welcome interested parties to join the TC as it continues to further development of its specifications. OASIS Web Services Quality Model TC is developing specifications about quality of web services such as Web Services Quality Model (WSQM), Web Services Quality Factors (WSQF), and Web Services Quality Description Language (WS-QDL). WSQM is an overall model of quality of web services, and WSQF specifies quality factors. And WS-QDL describes the WSQM in the type of XML schema. Please feel free to distribute this announcement within your organization and to other appropriate mail lists.

Comments may be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment Facility which can be located via the button marked "Send A Comment" at the top of that page, or directly at [2] below.
