“…Elish [22] says that, Refactoring to patterns allows software designers to safely move their designs towards specific design patterns by applying multiple low-level refactorings. There are many different refactoring to pattern techniques, each with a particular purpose and a varying effect on software quality attributes.…”

Abstract. Code refactoring is a "Technique used for restructuring an existing source code, improving its internal structure without changing its external behaviour". It is the process of changing a source code in such a way that it does not alter the external behaviour of the code yet improves its internal structure. It is a way to clean up code that minimizes the chances of introducing bugs. Refactoring is a change made to the internal structure of a software component to make it easier to understand and cheaper to modify, without changing the observable behaviour of that software component. Bad smells indicate that there is something wrong in the code that have to refactor. There are different tools that are available to identify and remove these bad smells. It is a technique that change our source code in a more readable and maintainable form by removing the bad smells from the code. Refactoring is used to improve the quality of software by reducing the complexity. In this paper bad smells are found and perform the refactoring based on these bad smell and then find the complexity of program and compare with initial complexity. This paper shows that when refactoring is performed the complexity of software decrease and easily understandable.

Abstract-The analytic network process (ANP) is capable of structuring decision problems and finding mathematically determined judgments built on knowledge and experience. Researches suggest that ANP can be useful in software development, where complicated decisions happen routinely. In extreme programming (XP), the refactoring is applied where the code smells bad. This might cost more effort and time. As a result, in order to increase the advantages of refactoring in less effort and time, the analytic network process has been used to accomplish this purpose. This paper presents an example of applying the ANP in order to rank the refactoring patterns regarding the internal code quality attributes. A case study that was conducted in an academic environment is presented in this paper. The results of the case study show the benefits of using the ANP in XP development cycle.

“…Template-Based Approach [3] can be used to realize the generation of target codes, which is widely used in MDA-supported tools, such as AndroMDA, OptimalJ, ArcStyle, and which is not repeated in this paper. The static view, the action view and the UI presentation view are all integral parts of a PIM model for a student information management system.…”

“…On the whole, the provided approaches can be classified into five categories [3][4][5][6]: (1) Template-Based Approaches. In this approach, templates consisting of text in the target language include meta-code tags to access information from the source model.…”
