“…Correspondingly, 4 life cycle models were created for these business entities. The validation of these behavioural interface models was performed by invoking the services with the sequences derived, and the results show that the temporal sequences revealed in the models are valid and match with what is described in the FedEx OpenShipping reference 17 .…”

“…This reflected the wider goal of the approach, for WSDL to REST API translation. Other text mining approaches for WSDL specifications focus on detection of anti-patterns by Mateos et al [16] and Hirsch et al [17], and quantification of WSDL specification readability by De Renzis et al [18]. Furthermore, a number of metrics were proposed to demonstrate the quality of service interfaces in the context of legacy systems modernization, through the work of Mateos et al [19] which concerned COBOL to SOA migration.…”

“…Anti-patterns could also happen in the design of URIs, which are named as amorphous URIs, CRUD URI, pluralised nodes, contextless recourse names, non-hierarchical nodes and ambiguous names (Alshraiedeh and Katuk, 2019). Hirsch et al (2018) and Mateos et al (2015b) studied ambiguous name anti-patterns in SOAP to define the corresponding definition in RESTful WS through the SOAP description document, such as portTypes, operations and parameters. For the URIs, the corresponding nodes include resources parameters and resources path.…”

“…This algorithm addresses the ambiguous names. Checking the meaning of the names of the URI nodes. The algorithm analyses the name of the URI nodes against known unrepresentative names such as param, arg, var, obj, object, foo, input, output, in# and out#, where # might be replaced by a number or nothing (Hirsch et al , 2018; Mateos et al , 2015b). Other characteristics that need to be tackled is to detect unrepresentative name.…”

Purpose Many REpresentational State Transfer (RESTful) Web services suffered from anti-patterns problem, which may diminish the sustainability of the services. The anti-patterns problem could happen in the code of the programme or the uniform resource identifiers (URIs) of RESTful Web services. This study aims to address the problem by proposing a technique and an algorithm for detecting anti-patterns in RESTful Web services. Specifically, the technique is designed based on URIs parsing process. Design/methodology/approach The study was conducted following the design science research process, which has six activities, namely, identifying problems, identifying solutions, design the solutions, demonstrate the solution, evaluation and communicate the solution. The proposed technique was embedded in an algorithm and evaluated in four phases covering the process of extracting the URIs, implementing the anti-pattern detection algorithm, detecting the anti-patterns and validating the results. Findings The results of the study suggested an acceptable level of accuracy for the anti-patterns detection with 82.30% of precision, 87.86% of recall and 84.93% of F-measure. Practical implications The technique and the algorithm can be used by developers of RESTful Web services to detect possible anti-pattern occurrences in the service-based systems. Originality/value The technique is personalised to detect amorphous URI and ambiguous name anti-patterns in which it scans the Web service URIs using specified rules and compares them with pre-determined syntax and corpus.

“…Web service is a group of loosely coupled applications, selfdescribing software, that can be published, located and accessed flexibly and smoothly [1]- [3]. It provides a uniform framework to achieve a high level of interaction between the distributed heterogeneous software system and data resource sharing over the Internet [4]- [6]. In a simple word, web service can be described as independent software components that accept requests and return responses over the Internet.…”

Web services provide a uniform framework to achieve a high level of interaction between distributed heterogeneous software systems and data resources shared over the Internet. Producing a well-designed web service is significant because it leads to a more understandable service and a higher level of interaction and leads to effective software maintainability. However, web service is suffering from a poor design problem named anti-patterns. Analysis of the literature returned a plethora of studies on anti-patterns that caused difficulties for developers to synthesize and summarized the possible types of anti-patterns and further comprehend each of them. Due to this limitation, this paper aims to provide organized literature on the types of anti-patterns found in web services. A scoping review was conducted by searching scholarly documents, analyzing, and classified them based on their anti-pattern types. The review provided in this paper could be used as a guide for developers to identify the antipatterns that could be found in web services.
