The software system that requests data is called a <i>service requester</i>, whereas the software system that would process the request and provide the data is called a <i><a href="/wiki/Service_provider" title="Service provider">service provider</a></i>. </p><p>Different software may use different programming languages, and hence there is a need for a method of <a href="/wiki/Data_exchange" title="Data exchange">data exchange</a> that doesn't depend upon a particular programming language. Most types of software can, however, interpret XML tags. Thus, Web services can use XML files for data exchange. </p><p>Rules for communication with different systems need to be defined, such as: </p> <ul><li>How one system can request data from another system.</li> <li>Which specific parameters are needed in the data request.</li> <li>What would be the structure of the data produced.

This model is generally considered more difficult but can produce cleaner designs and is generally more resistant to change. As long as the message formats between the sender and receiver do not change, changes in the sender and receiver themselves do not affect the Web service. The technique is also referred to as <i>contract first</i> since the WSDL (or contract between sender and receiver) is the starting point.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>A developer using a Subset WSDL (SWSDL)<sup id="cite_ref-SWSDL_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SWSDL-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (i.e. a WSDL with the subset operation in the original WSDL) can perform Web service testing and top-down development.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Criticism">Criticism</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Web_service&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Criticism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Critics of non-RESTful Web services often complain that they are too complex<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and based upon large software vendors or integrators, rather than typical <a href="/wiki/Open-source_model" class="mw-redirect" title="Open-source model">open source</a> implementations. </p><p>There are also concerns about performance due to Web services' use of XML as a message format and SOAP/HTTP in enveloping and transporting.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Regression_testing_of_Web_services">Regression testing of Web services</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Web_service&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Regression testing of Web services"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Functional and non-functional testing of Web services is done with the help of WSDL parsing. <a href="/wiki/Regression_testing" title="Regression testing">Regression testing</a> is performed by identifying the changes made to upgrade software.
