Abstract
The present invention generally relates to an application program interface (API)-controlled computing system (). A computer-implemented method is proposed for determining undoability of an action to be conducted in the API-controlled computing system () represented by a formal domain model. A set of pre-states of the API-controlled computing system () for the action are obtained. A set of post-states of the API-controlled computing system () corresponding to each pre-state in the set of pre-states for the action are obtained. The method automatically determines if each post-state in each set of post-states of the API-controlled computing system can be undone to its pre-state in the set of pre-states by using a reachability task for the post-state and its pre-state. The action to be conducted in the API-controlled computing system () is undoable if each post-state in each set of post-states of the API-controlled computing system () can be undone to its pre-state in the set of pre-states.
