A Validation of Refactorings Impact on Maintainability: A Case Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Software refactorings are used commonly to fix problems such as the code smells. In this case study, we use a quality model to subjectively validate the consequences of resolving bad smells on software maintainability. The model is used to help software developers in their endeavor to improve software quality. This model can be used to search for the best alternative refactorings that can lead to a better quality. The results have shown that some bad smell resolutions may make improvements on the software quality, whereas others may not. Index: Refactoring, Bad Smells, Maintainability, Software Metrics.

A Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles
Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...
متن کاملMaintainability measure based on operating environment, a case study: Sungun copper mine
The life cycle cost of a system is influenced by its maintainability. Maintainability is a design parameter, whose operational conditions can affect it significantly. Hence, the effects of these operational conditions should be quantified early in the design phase. The proportional repair model (PRM), which is developed based on the proportional hazard model (PHM), can be used to analyze mainta...
متن کاملToward Practical Application of Program Refactoring
Program refactoring—transforming a program to improve readability, structure, performance, abstraction, maintainability, or other characteristics— is not applied in practice as much as might be desired. Although there are various possible reasons why program refactoring is not so popular, one deterrent is the cost of detecting candidates for refactoring and of choosing the appropriate refactori...
متن کاملAnalysis of reliability and maintainability for multiple repairable units (Case study: Sungun copper mine)
The appropriate operating of mining machines is affected by both the executive and environmental factors. Considering the effects and the related risks lead to a better understanding of the failures of such machines. This leads to a proper prediction of the reliability parameters of such machines. In this research work, the reliability and maintainability analysis of the loading and haulage mac...
متن کاملOptimizing Non-functional Properties of Software Product Lines by means of Refactorings
Today, software product line engineering concentrates on tailoring the functionality of programs. However, we and others observed an increasing interest in non-functional properties of products. For example, performance, power awareness, maintainability, and resource consumption are important nonfunctional properties in software development. Current product line techniques have the potential to...
