Investigating Student Errors in Code Refactoring [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education V. 2, 2023 Learning to develop code of good quality is challenging. One way to improve code quality is through code refactoring. Students make several mistakes when refactoring code. This research project aims to comprehend student errors in code refactoring, as well as to evaluate how the use of automated tools can help students remediate these errors.

A Tutoring System to Learn Code Refactoring
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. The focus has been less on helping students write code with good style and quality.

Teaching Code Refactoring using LLMs
2025 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE)This Innovative Practice full paper explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can enhance the teaching of code refactoring in software engineering courses through real-time, context-aware feedback. Refactoring improves code quality but is difficult to teach, especially with complex, real-world codebases. Traditional methods like code reviews and static

Code Refactoring in Virtual Reality.
IdeRefactoring source code is a key technique for maintaining a high-quality codebase, keeping the code clean, modular, understandable, and adaptable to change in the long run. Modern Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), unlike plain text editors, provide automated support for various refactorings (e.g., move class, extract method).

Automating Source Code Refactoring in the Classroom [PDF]
Proceedings of the 55th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 1, 2023 Refactoring is the practice of improving software quality without altering its external behavior. Developers intuitively refactor their code for multiple purposes, such as improving program comprehension, reducing code complexity, dealing with technical debt, and removing code smells. However, no prior studies have exposed the students to an experience

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 ...

How to refactor this code? An exploratory study on developer-ChatGPT refactoring conversations [PDF]
Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Mining Software RepositoriesLarge Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, have gained widespread popularity and usage in various software engineering tasks, including refactoring, testing, code review, and program comprehension. Despite recent studies delving into refactoring documentation in commit messages, issues, and code review, little is known about how developers articulate ...
