Refactoring test code [PDF]

, 2001
Two key aspects of extreme programming (XP) are unit testing and merciless refactoring. Given the fact that the ideal test code / production code ratio approaches 1:1, it is not surprising that unit tests are being refactored.

The Scalable Detection and Resolution of Data Clumps Using a Modular Pipeline with ChatGPT

Software
This paper explores a modular pipeline architecture that integrates ChatGPT, a Large Language Model (LLM), to automate the detection and refactoring of data clumps—a prevalent type of code smell that complicates software maintainability.

Code-Imp: a tool for automated search-based refactoring

, 2011
Manual refactoring is tedious and error-prone, so it is natural to try to automate this process as much as possible. Fully automated refactoring usually involves using metaheuristic search to determine which refactorings should be applied to improve the ...

Code refactoring under constraints

, 2011
Code refactoring is the process of changing the internal structure of the program without changing its external behaviors. Most refactoring tools ensure behavior preservation by enforcing preconditions that must hold for the refactoring to be valid ...
