ChatGPT Prompt Patterns for Improving Code Quality, Refactoring, Requirements Elicitation, and Software Design [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2023 This paper presents prompt design techniques for software engineering, in the form of patterns, to solve common problems when using large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT to automate common software engineering activities, such as ensuring code is

, 2004 Refactoring is a popular technique from the OO-community to restructure code: it aims at improving software readability, maintainability and extensibility. In this paper we apply the ideas of refactoring to Prolog programs. We present a catalogue of refactorings adapted to or specifically developed for Prolog.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Quickchecking Refactoring Tools [PDF]
, 2010 Refactoring is the transformation of program source code in a way that preserves the behaviour of the program. Many tools exist for automating a number of refactoring steps, but these tools are often poorly tested.
