Two-Phase Assessment Approach to Improve the Efficiency of Refactoring Identification.

To automate the refactoring identification process, a large number of candidates need to be compared. Such an overhead can make the refactoring approach impractical if the software size is large and the computational load of a fitness function is substantial. In this paper, we propose a two-phase assessment approach to improving the efficiency of the process. For each iteration of the refactoring ...
