Multi-step Automated Refactoring for Code Smell
نویسندگان
چکیده
In computer programming, code smell may origin of latent problems in source code. Detecting and resolving bad smells remain time intense for software engineers despite proposals on bad smell detecting and refactoring tools. Numerous code smells have been recognized yet the sequence in which the detection and resolution of different kinds of code smells are performed because software engineers do not know how to optimize sequence. In this paper, the novel refactoring approach is proposed to improve the performance of programs. In this recommended approach the code smells are automatically detected and refactored. The simulation results propose the reduction of time over the semi-automated refactoring are achieved when code smells are refactored by using multi-step automated refactoring.

An Empirical Study of Bad Smell in Code on Maintenance Effort
In this paper, we represent an automated code smell detection and refactoring tool for calculating risk factor by detecting Code Smells and decrease risk factor by Refactoring Techniques. Refactoring is a process for restructuring or improving internal structure of software without changing its behavior. A new code smell (Lazy Catch) detection is also presented. To achieve this aim Declarative ...
متن کاملIdentifying Refactoring Opportunities Using Logic Meta Programming
In this paper, we show how automated support can be provided for identifying refactoring opportunities, e.g., when an application’s design should be refactored and which refactoring(s) in particular should be applied. Such support is achieved by using the technique of logic meta programming to detect so-called bad smells and by defining a framework that uses this information to propose adequate...
متن کاملFramework for Automated Code Smell Correction in a BrownVeld Context
Developing code over a long period of time, in a heterogeneous team or under time pressure can lead to a lingering decay in readability, maintainability and thus reusability of software source code. In the past decades several approaches have been developed that tackle automatic detection of such code Waws, yet neglecting the automated correction as an essential and integrated step in the refac...
متن کاملAutomation of Refactoring and Refactoring Suggestions for TTCN-3 Test Suites. The TRex TTCN-3 Refactoring and Metrics Tool
Refactoring is not only useful for source code of implementations, but as well for test specifications. The open source TRex tool automates the application of refactorings and the detection of refactoring opportunities for test suites that are specified using the standardised Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3). Depending on the refactoring, the behaviour preserving transformations may i...
متن کاملTrueRefactor: An Automated Refactoring Tool to Improve Legacy System and Application Comprehensibility
Manual refactoring is a complicated process requiring intimate knowledge of the software design and underlying intended behavior of a system. This knowledge is not always available. Fully automated refactoring, using a meta-heuristic based search that is dependent on software quality metrics and code smells as a guide, eliminates the need for the developer to be intimately connected to the soft...
