Description
Complexity metrics are used to predict the quality of the any software systems because they quantify the quality attributes. Web services, a new type of applications, have been providing a common standard mechanism for interoperable integration of disparate systems and gaining a great deal of acceptance by different types of parties that are connected to the internet for different purposes. In this respect, quality of the web-services should be quantified for easy maintenance and quality of services. Further, the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) forms the basis for Web Services. In this paper, we are evaluating the quality of the WSDL documents by applying the Cyclomatic complexity metric, a well known and effective complexity metric, which is not used to evaluate the quality of WSDL till date.
