On the relation of refactorings and software defect prediction
Proceedings of the 2008 international working conference on Mining software repositories, 2008This paper analyzes the influence of evolution activities such as refactoring on software defects. In a case study of five open source projects we used attributes of software evolution to predict defects in time periods of six months. We use versioning and issue tracking systems to extract 110 data mining features, which are separated into refactoring ...

Model-Driven Software Refactoring
2009In this chapter, we explore the emerging research domain of model-driven software refactoring. Program refactoring is a proven technique that aims at improving the quality of source code. Applying refactoring in a model-driven software engineering context raises many new challenges such as how to define, detect and improve model quality, how to ...

RefBot: Intelligent Software Refactoring Bot
2019 34th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE), 2019The adoption of refactoring techniques for continuous integration received much less attention from the research community comparing to root-canal refactoring to fix the quality issues in the whole system. Several recent empirical studies show that developers, in practice, are applying refactoring incrementally when they are fixing bugs or adding new ...

Refactoring--Does It Improve Software Quality?
Fifth International Workshop on Software Quality (WoSQ'07: ICSE Workshops 2007), 2007Software systems undergo modifications, improvements and enhancements to cope with evolving requirements. This maintenance can cause their quality to decrease. Various metrics can be used to evaluate the way the quality is affected. Refactoring is one of the most important and commonly used techniques of transforming a piece of software in order to ...

Refactoring Java Software Product Lines
Proceedings of the 21st International Systems and Software Product Line Conference - Volume A, 2017Refactoring is a staple of Object-Oriented (OO) program development. It should be a staple of OO Software Product Line (SPL) development too. X15 is the first tool to support the refactoring of Java SPL codebases. X15 (1) uses Java custom annotations to encode variability in feature-based Java SPLs, (2) projects a view of an SPL product (a program that

Multiobjective Optimization for Software Refactoring and Evolution
2014Many studies reported that software maintenance, traditionally defined as any modification made on a software system after its delivery, consumes up to 90% of the total cost of a typical software project. Adding new functionalities, correcting bugs, and modifying the code to improve its quality are major parts of those costs.

Refactoring at the core of agile software development
Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Aspect-oriented software development companion, 2011Refactoring code to make it more maintainable and extendable has become a more mainstream practice. Refactoring is the process of changing software without altering its external behavior. It is done in such as way to improve the structure of the code to allow for later extensions or to make maintenance of the code easier.

A model-based approach to software refactoring
2015 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME), 2015Refactoring is a key activity for any software system, as it ensures that the system is easily maintainable and extensible. However, complex refactorings (restructurings) are largely performed by hand, as there are no automated means of chaining existent basic refactorings.

An Introduction to Software Product Line Refactoring
2011Although software product lines (PLs) can bring significant productivity and quality improvements through strategic reuse, bootstrapping existing products into a PL, and extending a PL with more products, is often risky and expensive. These kinds of PL derivation and evolution might require substantial effort and can easily affect the behavior of ...
