Refactoring is one means of improving the structure of existing software. Locations for the application of refactoring are often based on subjective perceptions such as ”bad sme...
Improving the structure of code can help developers work with a software system more efficiently and more consistently. To aid developers in re-structuring the implementation of c...
This paper presents a human–guided automated approach to refactoring object oriented programs to the aspect oriented paradigm. The approach is based upon the iterative applicati...

Refactoring tools allow programmers to change source code much quicker than before. However, the complexity of these changes cause versioning tools that operate at a file level t...

Refactoring is about changing the design of existing code without changing its behaviour, but with the aim of making code easier to understand, modify, or reuse. Taking Haskell an...
Software has been and is still mostly refactored without tool support. Moreover, as we found in our case studies, programmers tend not to document these changes as refactorings, o...
Refactoring of software systems represents an fundamental way of improving their quality properties. Large-scale refactoring has to be performed at an architectural level to execu...
Software-intensive systems evolve continuously under the pressure of new and changing requirements, generally leading to an increase in overall system complexity. In this respect,...
Up to 75% of the costs associated with the development of software systems occur post-deployment during maintenance and evolution. Software refactoring is a process which can sign...
Refactoring makes existing source code more understandable and reusable without changing observable behavior. Therefore, applying refactorings to existing source code and reversin...
