Specify number of consumers, peer services, or service partners that are
currently utilizing the service. If a conceptual service is being profiled, provide estimates
and projections of the expected consumer community that will be exploiting the service.
??? Consumption. Consumption is gauged by transaction rates and volume of simultaneous
consumer requests that a service can sustain. Thus, furnish consumption rates of the
service to help determine technical capability, scalability, and performance.
??? SLA. Outline the technical commitments that a service is commissioned to. These are
service-level agreements that a service must comply with in run-time environments. This
may include response time, availability parameters, and settled consumption rates.
??? Loose coupling and dependency. Identify various relationships and dependencies on
which a service is founded. This information is typically related to service associations
with peer services, consumers, and partner services, and a service??™s reliance on its operating
environments, such as middleware and infrastructure.
??? Granularity. Identify service granularity values. This pertains to a service??™s position on
the granularity matrix. Remember high granularity levels are reserved for coarse-grained
entities. Conversely, fine-grained assets are located on the lower ranks.
??? Interoperability. Identify the technological environments in which a service operates.
