“…Refactoring Browser The refactoring browser [16] is a powerful Smalltalk browser which allows the programmer to perform various automated refactorings on Smalltalk source code such as renaming variables and methods. In this case the focus is on rapidly and automatically performing a set of standard refactorings without introducing errors.…”

We propose a first-class change model for Change-Oriented Software Engineering (COSE). Based on an evolution scenario, we identify a lack of support in current Interactive Development Environments (IDEs) to apply COSE. We introduce a set of five extensions to an existing model of first-class changes and describe the desired behaviour of change-oriented IDEs to support COSE. With the help of an evolution scenario, we show why those extensions are required. Finally we describe ChEOPS: a prototypical implementation of a change-oriented IDE on top of VisualWorks and illustrate how it supports the extended first-class change model. ChEOPS is finally used to validate COSE as a solution for the shortcomings of existing IDEs.

“…RF10 enables designers to remove non-executed process fragments from a model S. While unused branches can be automatically detected, RF10 is not automatically applied, but designers have to ensure that the misalignment between model and log was not caused by design errors or an execution log not covering all relevant traces. 7 Addressed Process Smell. This refactoring provides a remedy for smell PMS6 (Unused Branches).…”

“…He suggested a set of refactorings for C++ which are semantic preserving if certain preconditions are met. The first notable refactoring tool has been the Refactoring Browser [7] for Smalltalk, which automatically performs the refactorings proposed by Opdyke plus some additionally techniques [69]. As all refactorings provided by this tool constitute behaviorpreserving transformations it is ensured that no errors or information losses The provided refactorings usually cannot be proven to be completely behavior-preserving.…”

With the increasing adoption of process-aware information systems, large process model repositories have emerged. Typically, the models in such repositories are re-aligned to real-world events and demands through adaptation on a day-to-day basis. This bears the risk of introducing model redundancies and of unnecessarily increasing model complexity. If no continuous investment is made in keeping process models simple, changes will become more difficult and error-prone over time. Although refactoring techniques are widely used in software engineering to address similar problems, so far, no comparable state-of-the-art has evolved in the business process management domain. Process designers either have to refactor process models by hand or are simply unable to apply respective techniques at all. This paper proposes a catalogue of process model "smells" for identifying refactoring opportunities. In addition, it introduces a set of behavior-preserving techniques for refactoring large process repositories. The proposed refactorings enable process designers to effectively deal with model complexity by making process models better understandable and easier to maintain. The refactorings have been evaluated using large process repositories from the healthcare and automotive domain. To demonstrate the feasibility of the refactoring techniques, a proof-of-concept prototype has been implemented.

A refactoring tool for Ada 95

Refactoring is a technique for restructuring code to improve its design.A tool for automatically applying refactoring transformations to Ada 95 programs is described. The tool is based on a language-neutral static-analysis toolset named CodeSurfer, and uses the ASIS interface to retrieve basic facts about a program. A higher-level object-oriented interface to the ASIS representation is described, which enables pattern-matching queries on the program's abstract semantic graph. The tool has been validated by using it to apply a set of transformations designed to bring a general-purpose code library into compliance with a safety-critical subset of Ada. Future plans for a set of tools based on these techniques are described.
