Abstract

Microservice architectures should be based on isolated, independent and resilient services. In practice, however, that means that different concepts must be taken into account when designing, developing, and operating services. The WINNER research project is developing an application, based on such a microservice architecture in the context of Smart Home, Smart Grid and electromobility in tenant households, as a measurement and processing infrastructure. About this WINNER software, system metrics are calculated and collected, and the potential for rating software quality in the sense of ISO 25010 is examined. For analysis, a microservice architecture describing model will be designed witches describes correlations and links in the service network. Its instance in the context of WINNER, as well as source code and process analyses, are used to perform the final quality considerations.
