Abstract

A method, a device, and a program product for evaluating an application program interface (API) are provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. According to some embodiments, a method for evaluating an API includes determining a specification score of the API by comparing a definition description for the API with a predetermined specification corresponding to the API. The specification score indicates a degree of matching between the definition description and the predetermined specification. Additionally, the method for evaluating an API includes determining a test score for the API by applying a predetermined test case set to a code set of the API. The test score indicates a test status for the code set. Further, the method for evaluating an API includes determining a maturity metric of the API based on the specification score and the test score.
