Abstract

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for a computer program can be verified to be correct. The verification includes receiving updated source code for an application, receiving an application programming interface (API) corresponding to the application, scanning the updated source code, determining if the API has changed from a previous version of the API and determining if a change in the API is an intended change based on a comparison of the API with a predetermined benchmark.
