A Service Specification is usually defined by the Service Developer/Provider and may include both functional and non-functional information such as information on the service interface, the service behavior, service exceptions, test suites, commercial conditions applying to the service (pricing, policies, and SLA negotiation parameters) and communication mechanisms. [SeCSE]
_ALT_

A service specification must specify everything that a potential consumer of the service needs to know to decide if they are interested in using the service, as well as exactly how to use it. It must also specify everything a service provider must know to successfully implement the service. Thus, a service specification is a mediator or a contract between what consumers need and what providers provide. [IBM, 2007]
