Refactoring Aspects into Java Code
IEEE International Conference on Software-Science, Technology & Engineering (SwSTE'07), 2007One of the principles of the agile development methodology is to "welcome changing requirements even late in development". Refactoring is a major technique used to cope with changes. It enables to reorganize code while preserving the external behavior. Several refactorings can be performed automatically.

International Conference on Software Engineering Advances (ICSEA 2007), 2007
Test driven development is a technique in which the refactoring occurs all the time, in the application code and in the test code. But there is not a method to guarantee that the test code behavior after one refactoring remains unchanged. This paper presents a representation based on the JUnit unit test structure, as well as a classification of test ...

Software code refactoring based on deep neural network‐based fitness function
Concurrency and Computation, 2022Refactoring is extensively recognized for enhancing the internal structure of object‐oriented software while preserving its external behavior. However, determining refactoring opportunities is challenging for designers and researchers alike.

Prioritizing refactorings for security-critical code
Automated Software Engineering, 2021It is vitally important to fix quality issues in security-critical code as they may be sources of vulnerabilities in the future. These quality issues may increase the attack surface if they are not quickly refactored. In this paper, we use the history of vulnerabilities and security bug reports along with a set of keywords to automatically identify a ...

Refactoring Code Clone Detection
2019 7th International Symposium on Digital Forensics and Security (ISDFS), 2019Refactoring duplicate code is an important issue and is one of the most important smells in software maintenance. There is an important relationship between clones and code quality. Most programmers use clones because they are cheaper and faster than typing the program code.

MUARF: Leveraging Multi-Agent Workflows for Automated Code Refactoring
2025 IEEE/ACM 47th International Conference on Software Engineering: Companion Proceedings (ICSE-Companion)Refactoring is crucial for maintaining a project, but it requires developers to understand code structure and system design principles well. Recent research on Large Language Models(LLMs) has shown their great capability for handling complex tasks ...

A Duplicated Code Refactoring Advisor
2015Refactoring is one of the key practices in Extreme Programming and other agile methods. Duplicated code is one of the most pervasive and pungent smells to remove from source code through refactoring. Duplicated code has been largely studied in the literature, and different types of duplications, or “clones”, have been identified.
