Abstract:

As with design patterns before, the naming and cataloguing of
refactorings has contributed significantly to the recognition of the
discipline. However, in practice concrete refactoring needs may
deviate from what has been distilled as a named refactoring, and
mapping these needs to a series of such refactorings — if at all
possible — can be difficult. To address this, we propose a framework
of specifying refactorings in an ad hoc fashion, and demonstrate
its feasibility by presenting an implementation. Evaluation
is done by simulating application through a user on a set of given
sample programs. Results suggest that our proposal of ad hoc
refactoring is, for the investigated scenarios at least, viable.
