Case study on software refactoring tactics

open access: yesIET Software, 2014
Refactorings might be done using two different tactics: root canal refactoring and floss refactoring. Root canal refactoring is to set aside an extended period specially for refactoring. Floss refactoring is to interleave refactorings with other programming tasks. However, no large‐scale case study on refactoring tactics is available.
