| Sumario: | The implementation of APIs in new applications is becoming a mandatory requirement due to the increasing use of cloud-based solutions, the necessity of integration with ubiquitous applications (like Facebook or Twitter) and the need to facilitate multi-platform support from scratch in the development. However, there is still no theoretically sound process for defining APIs (starting from end-user requirements) or their productive development and evolution, which represents a complex task. Moreover, high-level solutions intended to boost productivity of API development (usually based on Model-Driven Development methodologies) are often difficult to adapt to specific use cases and requirements. In this paper we propose a methodology that allows capturing requirements related to APIs using end-user-friendly artifacts. These artifacts allow quickly generating a first running version of the API with a specific architecture, which facilitates introducing refinements in it through direct coding, as is commonly accomplished in code-based Agile processes. |
