A Mixed-method Approach to Recommend Corrections and Correct REST Antipatterns Revision for Supplemental Material

We propose the SOCAR approach for the correction of REST antipatterns in RESTful APIs. SOCAR proceeds in three steps:Step 1: Apply SODA-R to Detect REST AntipatternsInput: RESTful APIs for their dynamic invocation via client requests.Output: Detected instances of REST design patterns and antipatterns from the client- and service meta-data.Step 2: Define Correction Heuristics for REST AntipatternsInput: Correction heuristics with attributes from the trace history.Output: Correction recommendation/Correction.Step 3: Defined Recommendations to Remove REST AntipatternsInput: The algorithmic implementations of correction heuristics. Output: The recommended REST design pattern instances and the related REST antipatterns that are removed.
