Abstract

THE CREATIONS OF HIGH-QUALITY SOFTWARE PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS. A HIGH-QUALITY SOFTWARE SHOULD CONTAIN CERTAIN FEATURES INCLUDING FLEXIBILITY, MAINTAINABILITY, AND A WELLDESIGNED STRUCTURE. CORRECTLY ADHERING TO THE OBJECT-ORIENTED PRINCIPLES IS ONE OF THE METHODS THAT MAKE THE CODE MORE FLEXIBLE. DEVELOPERS USUALLY TRY TO LEVERAGE THESE PRINCIPLES, BUT MANY TIMES NEGLECTING THEM DUE TO THE LACK OF TIME AND THE EXTRA COSTS INVOLVED. THEREFORE, SOMETIMES THEY CREATE CONFUSING, COMPLEX, AND PROBLEMATIC STRUCTURES IN THE CODE KNOWN AS CODE SMELLS. IN THIS PAPER, WE WILL INTRODUCE AN AUTOMATED METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A SERIES OF CODE SMELLS IN THE JAVA PROGRAMS. THEN, BY USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS SUCH AS FUZZY-GENETIC ALGORITHMS, WE WILL PERFORM THE AUTOMATIC REFACTORING. IN THE PROPOSED METHOD, WE HAVE ALSO USED A GRAPH-MODEL AS THE CORE REPRESENTATION MODEL ALONG THE CORRESPONDING MEASURES SUCH AS LOAD-CENTRALITY, DEGREE-CENTRALITY, BETWEENNESS-CENTRALITY, AND CLOSENESS-CENTRALITY TO IDENTIFY THE CODE SMELLS IN THE PROGRAMS. THEN, WE COMBINE THE APPLIED FUZZY SYSTEM AND THE GENETIC ALGORITHM (I. E. FUZZY-GENETIC) TO REFACTOR THE CODE WITH THE HELP OF GRAPHICAL FEATURES. FINALLY, WE TEST OUR METHOD ON JUNIT AND GANTTPROJECT AND EVALUATE OUR RESULTS AGAINST THE IPLASMA TOOL. THIS APPROACH IDENTIFIES ON AVERAGE MORE THAN 86. 36 % OF THE CLASSES SIMILAR TO IPLASMA. THE PROPOSED METHOD ALSO REFACTORS OVER 93. 5 % OF THE CLASSES CORRECTLY.
