USAGE OF DESIGN BY CONTRACT - From Component-based Engineering to SOA Design

Diana Berberova, Boyan Bontchev

2009

Abstract

Modern SOA research is focused more and more on fundamental service design issues such as means for creation of formal, standardised service contracts. A possible way for achieving standardised service contracts goes through application of the design by contract approach. Such an approach promises offering a lot of benefits especially when applied for description and management of quality of services. The paper tries to reveal the potential advantages of design by contract when applied for SOA design. It discusses similarities and differences between component based software engineering and SOA, as far as design by contract has been successfully used for component design. Also, it shows the importance of service contract and traces usage of design by contracts for Web service design and how it could be applied for SOA.
