| Abstract: |
This article proposes a case study to evaluate the
suitability of graph transformation tools for program refactoring.
In order to qualify for this purpose, a graph transformation
system must be able to (i) import a graph-based representation
of models of Java programs , (ii) allow these models
to be transformed interactively with well-known program
refactorings, and (iii) export the resulting models in the same
graph-based format used as input. The case study aims to enable
comparison of various features of graph transformation
tools, such as their expressiveness and their ability to interact
with the user. The model of Java programs is presented and
some examples for translating Java source code into the model
are provided. The refactorings selected for the case study are
specified in detail. |
