Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Refactoring-aware code review [PDF]
2017 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC), 2017 Code review, where developers manually inspect one another's code changes, improves software quality and transfers knowledge in a team. Unfortunately, tools that support code review treat behavior-preserving changes, or refactorings, and behavior-altering changes, or non-refactorings, the same way, so developers have to spend effort differentiating ...

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.

B-Refactoring: Automatic test code refactoring to improve dynamic analysis [PDF]
Information and Software Technology, 2016 Context: Developers design test suites to verify that software meets its expected behaviors. Many dynamic analysis techniques are performed on the exploitation of execution traces from test cases. In practice, one test case may imply various behaviors. However, the execution of a test case only yields one trace, which can hide the others.Objective: In ...

Android code smells: From introduction to refactoring [PDF]
Journal of Systems and Software, 2021 Object-oriented code smells are well-known concepts in software engineering that refer to bad design and development practices commonly observed in software systems. With the emergence of mobile apps, new classes of code smells have been identified by the research community as mobile-specific code smells.

Why Developers Refactor Source Code [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2020 Refactoring aims at improving code non-functional attributes without modifying its external behavior. Previous studies investigated the motivations behind refactoring by surveying developers. With the aim of generalizing and complementing their findings, we present a large-scale study quantitatively and qualitatively investigating

Dynamic Ranking of Refactoring Menu Items for Integrated Development Environment
IEEE Access, 2018 Software refactoring is popular and thus most mainstream IDEs, e.g., Eclipse, provide a top level menu, especially for refactoring activities. The refactoring menu is designed to facilitate refactorings, and it has become one of the most commonly used ...

Energy-Efficient Code by Refactoring [PDF]
Softwaretechnik-Trends, 2013 The rising number of mobile devices increase the interest in longer battery durations. To increase battery duration, researchers try to improve e.g. different hardware components, such as processors and GPS for lower energy consumption. Frequently, software optimization possibilities to save energy are forgotten.
