Bulk Fixing Coding Issues and Its Effects on Software Quality: Is It Worth Refactoring?
2014
2014 IEEE 14th International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation
The quality of a software system is mostly defined by its source code. Software evolves continuously, it gets modified, enhanced, and new requirements always arise. If we do not spend time periodically on improving our source code, it becomes messy and its quality will decrease inevitably. Literature tells us that we can improve the quality of our software product by regularly refactoring it. But does refactoring really increase software quality?
