Automated detection of api refactorings in libraries
2007
Proceedings of the twenty-second IEEE/ACM international conference on Automated software engineering - ASE '07
In theory, the APIs of a library should be stable, but in practice they do change and thus require changes in software that reuses the library. ...
Refac Lib uses syntactic analysis in the first phase to quickly detect refactoring candidates across two versions of a library. ...
To reduce the efforts, we have developed a tool, RefacLib, to automatically detect refactorings in library APIs; these detected refactorings can be used to automatically upgrade the software systems. ...

An Empirical Study on the Impact of Refactoring Activities on Evolving Client-Used APIs
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
For software libraries, we study how library developers refactor their Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), especially when it impacts client users by breaking an API of the library. ...
Method: We distinguish between library APIs based on their client-usage (refereed to as client-used APIs) in order to understand the extent to which API breakages relate to refactorings. ...
Related Work In this section, we introduce literature related to API usage, library migration support and library evolution. API usage. ...

Automated upgrading of component-based applications
2006
Companion to the 21st ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming systems, languages, and applications - OOPSLA '06
Our study of the API changes in five components revealed that over 80% of the changes that break existing applications are caused by refactorings. ...
Frameworks and libraries change their APIs. Migrating an application to the new API is tedious and disrupts the development process. ...
Approach The Role of Refactorings in API Evolution: To learn what types of API changes cause problems for application developers, we looked at four well known frameworks and libraries from the open source ...

Using refactorings to automatically update component-based applications
2005
Companion to the 20th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications - OOPSLA '05
We studied the API changes of three frameworks and one library and discovered that over 80% of the changes the break existing applications are refactorings. ...
Frameworks and libraries change their APIs during evolution. Migrating an application to the new API is tedious and disrupts the development process. ...
In the four case studies, respectively 84%, 81%, 90% and 97% of the API breaking changes are structural, behavior-preserving transformations (refactorings). ...

Automated API migration in a user-extensible refactoring tool for Erlang programs
2012
Proceedings of the 27th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering - ASE 2012
Apart from providing a set of built-in refactorings and code inspection functionalities, Wrangler allows users to define refactorings, code inspections, and general program transformations for themselves ...
This paper reports an extension to Wrangler's extension framework, supporting the automatic generation of API migration refactorings from a user-defined adapter module. ...
Inference of refactorings in class upgrade is described in [7] ; our work depends on the library writer to describe the API adapter, but then infers refactorings from this, to 'fold' the adapter into ...

IntelliTC: Automating Type Changes in IntelliJ IDEA
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Such refactoring often involves updating not only the type of the element itself, but also the API of all type-dependent references in the code, thus it is tedious and time-consuming. ...
Researchers have recently proposed a data-driven approach to inferring API rewrite rules for type change patterns in Java using code commits history. ...

Refactoring references for library migration
2010
SIGPLAN notices
Automated refactoring is a key feature of modern IDEs. Existing refactorings rely on the transformation of source code declarations, in which references may also be transformed as a side effect. ...
However, there exist situations in which a declaration is not available for refactoring or would be inappropriate to transform, for example, in the presence of dangling references or where a set of references ...
