Static and dynamic adaptations for service-based systems

Architecture-based testing of service-oriented applications in distributed systems

“…In our experiment, we are mainly concerned with five categories of faults: API usage faults, data manipulation faults, message exchange faults, interface faults, and service logic faults. Other faults such as QoS unsatisfied faults [21] were not studied in the experiment.…”

Extended Fault Taxonomy of SOA-Based Systems

“…Basically, a fault is a problem that results in some abnormality condition at runtime [1]. Service faults can fall into one of the four categories: healthy, impacted, hidden and faulty [16].…”

“…In other words, a fault is a problem that occurs when a service invocation made by an SBS results in some abnormal behavior at runtime [1]. IEEE [2] defines more precisely a software fault as an incorrect step, process or data definition in a computer program.…”

Framework for evaluating reusability of Component-as-a-Service (CaaS)

“… Modularity: Software components should embed a high modularity to be effectively composed into applications.  Adaptability: Adaptability is essential in two cases; providing variation points [9] and resolving partial matching problems [10]. The end result is the increased level of applicability.…”
