Mechanical verification of refactorings [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2008 ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation, 2008
In this paper we describe the formal verification of refactorings for untyped and typed lambda-calculi. This verification is performed in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Refactorings are program transformations applied to improve the design of source code.

Complete Pathway Refactoring and Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Anthracyclines for Modulation of Histone Eviction and DNA Damage Bioactivities. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
A synthetic biology platform was established for the complete refactoring of complex anthracycline biosynthetic pathways in Streptomyces coelicolor using standardized, chemically synthetic DNA parts. This modular construction enabled streamlined combinatorial biosynthesis, yielding novel analogs that decouple DNA damage from chromatin damage (histone ...

Revisiting Scenarios of Using Refactoring Techniques to Improve Software Systems Quality

IEEE Access, 2023
Refactoring is one of the most widely used techniques in practice to improve the quality of existing software. However, it is observed that refactoring does not continually improve all software quality attributes.

RMMOC: Refactoring Method based on Multi-Objective Algorithms and New Criteria [PDF]

AUT Journal of Modeling and Simulation, 2023
Some factors can change the software and affect the quality, such as the new users' requirements and the need for compatibility with modern techniques. These factors impose a high cost on technical software maintenance. One of the techniques for software

Optimized Refactoring Mechanisms to Improve Quality Characteristics in Object-Oriented Systems

IEEE Access, 2023
Refactoring has emerged as a predominant approach to augmenting software product quality. However, empirical evidence suggests that not all dimensions of software quality experience unending enhancements through refactoring.
