Search-based refactoring for software maintenance
The high cost of software maintenance could be reduced by automatically improving the design of object-oriented programs without altering their behaviour. We have constructed a software tool capable of refactoring object-oriented programs to conform more closely to a given design quality model, by formulating the task as a search problem in the space of alternative designs. This novel approach ...
متن کاملRefactoring, Way for Software Maintenance
Now days, most object-oriented software systems are developed using an evolutionary process model. In evolutionary development lifecycle, it needs to change from time to time. An important kind of change to objectoriented software is Refactoring. The motive of refactoring is to improve the quality of the software system, such as its understandability, extensibility and maintainability, without ...
متن کاملImproving Software Security Using Search-Based Refactoring
Security metrics have been proposed to assess the security of software applications based on the principles of “reduce attack surface” and “grant least privilege.” While these metrics can help inform the developer in choosing designs that provide better security, they cannot on their own show exactly how to make an application more secure. Even if they could, the onerous task of updating the so...
متن کاملSoftware Maintenance Supported by Refactoring
In this paper a new maintenance scenario is outlined based on refactoring techniques. Specifically, refactoring techniques are classified according to two opposed program properties: understanding and efficiency. Understanding oriented refactoring disassembles the program preparing it for maintenance, whereas those oriented to efficiency rearrange it for running. Also, we show the challenges ra...
متن کاملSearch-Based Refactoring Detection Using Software Metrics Variation
Software is frequently refactored to improve its design, either as part of an agile development process or as part of a major design overhaul. In either case, it is very useful to determine what refactorings have recently taken place in order to comprehend better the software and its development trajectory. To this end, we have developed an approach to automate the detection of source code refa...
