Serverless architectures are becoming computing standard and best practice. It is inevitable that more and more software systems will embrace the trend. Our tool toLambda provides automatic conversion of Java monolith application code into AWS Lambda ...

Code refactoring is often performed for improving code structures through code transformations. Many transformations, e.g., extracting or moving a method, are applied for at least partially removing code smells. Each code smell is a symptom of a poor ...

Refactorings are program transformations to improve code structure quality. Developers often apply these transformations in a batch, i.e., transformations in a sequence on a certain program location in order to achieve a specific goal. Either individual ...

Refactorings, by definition, preserve the behavior of a target program. Such a strong semantic property is encoded by a set of preconditions for each refactoring. Only if all preconditions are satisfied will a target program be transformed. The code ...

Previous studies introduced various techniques for detecting Move Method refactoring opportunities. However, different authors have different evaluations, which leads to the fact that results reported by different papers do not correlate with each other ...

The functional programming paradigm presents its own unique challenges to refactoring. For the OCaml language in particular, the expressiveness of its module system makes this a highly non-trivial task and there is currently no automated support for ...

This paper describes a multi-objective genetic algorithm used to automate software refactoring. The approach is validated using a set of open source Java programs with a purpose built tool, MultiRefactor. The tool uses a metric function to measure ...

Source code quality is often measured using code smell, which is an indicator of design flaw or problem in the source code. Code smells can be detected using tools such as static analyzer that detects code smells based on source code metrics. Further, ...

God Class is a class that threatens maintainability and understandability of code by performing most of the work alone. Various tools exist that can detect God Class of Java or C++ programs, however, there is no existing tool for detecting God Class(...

Refactoring is a critical task in software maintenance and is usually performed to enforce best design practices, or to cope with design defects. Previous studies heavily rely on defining a set of keywords to identify refactoring commits from a list of ...

Monitoring concerns' implementation crosscuts a software's system core concerns' implementation, leading to difficult to maintain and understand source code. Other paradigms have been proposed for crosscutting concerns implementation that should improve ...

Modern Code Review (MCR) demands enhancements in the way change logs are presented to reviewers. Their task benefits from higher-level descriptions about the intention behind commits; for instance, evolution tasks, such as refactorings, could be more ...

"Extract Method" refactoring is commonly used for merging code clones into a single new method. In this position paper, we propose a proactive clone recommendation system for "Extract Method" refactoring. The proposed system that has been implemented as ...
