Analyzing Software Repositories to Extract Knowledge for Supporting Refactoring Activities

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is effective to identify how and where to refactor programs because it improves the program design. We have so far proposed a technique to suggest refactoring opportunities by using a sequence of its modifications. However, the approach requires its users to describe the characteristic modification histories as modification patterns. In this paper, we propose a basic technique to discover characteristic modification histories from its repository, which in turn a technique to find refactoring opportunities. First, we extract modified snippets of code, or Edit Scripts, from a software repository. The Edit Scripts are prepared by calculating the difference of the Abstract Syntax Trees in the programs. We also extract past cases of refactorings, and then we create modification patterns by searching the modifications corresponding with cases of refactorings for frequented structures. We consider the effectiveness of our technique by applying it to Jakarta Commons software repository.
