Introduction of Aspect Oriented Techniques for refactoring legacy software

چکیده
Refactoring has become a well-known technique for improving the code in a way that preserves behavior. The application of refactorings during development process of an object oriented or procedure oriented software improves the design and therefore the quality of software. During the evolution of software it is a requirement to refactor them in order to make it more compatible and flexible with the new environment. Much work is being done in refactoring object oriented code with aspect oriented programming. But this paper describes the various types of refactoring being done on procedural codes for eg: C language and the utility of refactoring the procedural codes with the help of aspect oriented programming. The paper also proposes certain refactorings that could be achieved in a better way using AOP.

متن کاملPlanning an Automated Aspect Mining Tool
Software systems are growing in size and complexity. Increased complexity often leads to decresed mainainability and bad modularity, and re-engineering tasks is often performed in order to increase the key qualities of the system. With the incentive of a growing attention to aspect-oriented programming, the efforts to devise new techniques for refactoring legacy system into an aspect-oriented d...
متن کاملA Systematic Aspect-Oriented Refactoring and Testing Strategy, and its Application to JHotDraw
Aspect oriented programming aims at achieving better modularization for a system’s crosscutting concerns in order to improve its key quality attributes, such as evolvability and reusability. Consequently, the adoption of aspect-oriented techniques in existing (legacy) software systems is of interest to remediate software aging. The refactoring of existing systems to employ aspectorientation wil...
متن کاملRefactoring Catalog for Legacy software using C and Aspect Oriented Language
This paper explores the combination of AOP and refactoring, two techniques that deals with the problems of permanent evolution of software. AOP has evolved to deal with a large legacy of object-oriented (OO) code. Most of the work has been done in the area of refactoring the object oriented code but little with the procedural code and that too with aspect orientation. But the AO concept when ap...
متن کاملSome Thoughts On Refactoring Objects to Aspects
The prospect of aspect-orientation receiving widespread acceptance and adoption in the near future begs the question of how to deal with a large base of object-oriented legacy code. We propose to investigate refactoring techniques for restructuring object-oriented source code so that it can leverage the mechanisms of aspect-orientation in order to become easier to adapt, extend and evolve. Our ...
