Automatic Refactoring
Introduction
Refactoring is a technique for restructuring an existing code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. Its done as a series of small transformations. Each transformation does little, but a sequence of transformations can produce a significant restructuring. Since each refactoring is small, it's less likely to go wrong. The system is also kept fully working after each small refactoring, reducing the chances that a system can get seriously broken during the restructuring.<ref name="refone"> Refactoring Home Page http://refactoring.com/ </ref>
