Abstract This paper presents an extension for the Practice Library of the Essence language in the form of a practice for working with antipatterns. To represent antipatterns in a system, the Antipattern subalpha, its states, and checkpoints are proposed. To record data about an antipattern, the Antipattern Report work product and its levels of detail with checkpoints are proposed. To analyze the architecture of a system, the Inspect Architecture activity is proposed. The Fix Architecture activity represents actions for fixing architecture flaws. Code analysis is represented as the Review the Code activity, while the correction of deficiencies found during the analysis is represented as the Refactor the Code activity. The effect of the Antipattern subalpha on the state of the Software System alpha is analyzed. Some recommendations concerning the proposed activities are provided.
