| Popis: | Code smells are symptoms of bad decisions on the design and development of software. The occurrence of code smells in software can lead to costly consequences. Refactorings are considered adequate resources when it comes to reducing or removing the undesirable effects of smells in software. Ontologies and semantics can play a substantial role in reducing the interpretation burden of software engineers as they have to decide about adequate refactorings to mitigate the impact of smells. However, related work has given little attention to associating the recommendation of refactorings with the use of ontologies and semantics. Developers can benefit from the combination of code smells detection with a semantically-oriented approach for recommendation of refactorings. To make this possible, we expand the application of our previous ontology, ONTOlogy for Code smEll ANalysis (ONTOCEAN), to combine it with a new one, Ontology for SOftware REfactoring (OSORE). We also introduce a new tool, our REfactoring REcommender SYStem (RESYS) which is capable of binding our two ontologies. As a result, refactorings are automatically chosen and semantically linked to their respective code smells. We also conducted a preliminary evaluation of our approach in a real usage scenario with four open-source software projects. |
