Understanding Service-Oriented systems using dynamic analysis
Tiago Espinha, Andy Zaidman, H.G. Gross · 2011
When trying to understand a system that is based on the principles of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), it is typically not enough to understand the individual services in the architecture, but also the interactions between the services. In this paper, we present a technique based on dynamic analysis that can be used to obtain insight into how services work together to perform overall business functionality. In particular, our technique connects traces from individual services together, so that the user can obtain a global understanding of how the entire SOA works.
