6.2.7. Lookout for young web APIs
An observation recurring from nearly all the developer interviews warns client developers about how young web APIs tend to be very change-prone. This should be taken into account by client developers who are advised to, from early on, implement good separation of concerns between web API interaction and the core of the client. Web API age is another factor which may influence web API/service quality and it should be further investigated for inclusion in potential future service quality metrics.
