Student Code Refactoring Misconceptions
Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 1, 2023 Teaching students to develop code of good quality is important. Refactoring -- rewriting a program into a semantically equivalent program of better quality -- is a common technique to improve code quality.

A Tutoring System to Learn Code Refactoring [PDF]
Proceedings of the 52nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2021 In the last few decades, numerous tutoring systems and assessment tools have been developed to support students with learning programming, giving hints on correcting errors, showing which test cases do not succeed, and grading their overall solutions ...

Trustworthy Refactoring via Decomposition and Schemes: A Complex Case Study [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017 Widely used complex code refactoring tools lack a solid reasoning about the correctness of the transformations they implement, whilst interest in proven correct refactoring is ever increasing as only formal verification can provide true confidence in ...

Software Testing and Code Refactoring: A Survey with Practitioners [PDF]
2023 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME), 2023 Nowadays, software testing professionals are commonly required to develop coding skills to work on test automation. One essential skill required from those who code is the ability to implement code refactoring, a valued quality aspect of software ...

Renaming Global Variables in C Mechanically Proved Correct [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 Most integrated development environments are shipped with refactoring tools. However, their refactoring operations are often known to be unreliable. As a consequence, developers have to test their code after applying an automatic refactoring.

Unlocking Blocked Communicating Processes [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 We study the problem of disentangling locked processes via code refactoring. We identify and characterise a class of processes that is not lock-free; then we formalise an algorithm that statically detects potential locks and propose refactoring ...

Comparing Commit Messages and Source Code Metrics for the Prediction Refactoring Activities
Algorithms, 2021 Understanding how developers refactor their code is critical to support the design improvement process of software. This paper investigates to what extent code metrics are good indicators for predicting refactoring activity in the source code.
