Requirement

Title

Service behaviour

Identifier

SWIM-SERV-025

Requirement

A service description shall include information on the behaviour of the service including:

  • the sequence of service operations; and
  • the handling of unexpected behaviour.

Rationale

This requirement facilitates the understanding of the service behaviour, including the sequencing of service operations to support operational processes, and the error handling. 

Verification

Completeness: Verify that the behaviour information is included and covers the errors handling as well.

Consistency: Verify that the names of the interfaces, service operations and exchanged information are consistent with the interface definitions.

Correctness: Not Applicable.

Examples/Notes

Examples of behaviour specification:

  • The behaviour under normal conditions;
  • The behaviour with incorrect input data (e.g., out of range or incorrect data type);
  • The use of error messages, and error handling in general;
  • The list of error codes and expected effects.

Note: The service behaviour can be captured in formal modelling notations such as a Unified Modeling Language (UML) sequence diagram, and/or expressed as textual description in plain language.
