CODE REGISTRATION TO DETECT BREAKING API CHANGES

Abstract:

An approach is provided in which the approach registers a code snippet received from a user that corresponds to source code executing on a client. The approach evaluates the registered code snippet and identifies an application program interface (API) feature that calls an API from the code snippet. When the approach determines that the API feature is deprecated by the API, the approach generates a custom notification that includes the deprecated API feature and sends the custom notification to the client.
