MULTI-LAYER DESIGN RESPONSE TIME CALCULATOR

Methods, systems, and computer program products for integrating front-end applications with application program interfaces (APIs) and middleware business services. A front-end application flow, including at least one call to one or more business services flows, and one or more business services flows, each including one or more calls to application program interfaces (APIs), are received at a processor and the processor compiles a complete end-to-end flow that includes the front-end application flow and the one or more business services flows. The complete end-to-end flow is expressed in ordered terms of the one or more business services flows and the one or more calls to the APIs. A projected latency for the complete end-to-end flow is automatically constructed by the processor by totaling response times for each of the one or more calls to the APIs included in the complete end-to-end flow.
