Proposta de um modelo usando agentes para refatoração de software

Abstract

Software refactoring aims to increase the quality of the project in relation to reusability, maintainability and legibility attributes. There are refactoring methods that are able to read a source code and detect and insert design patterns. Automated tools implement only one refactoring method, so the develop must run your project on multiple tools to be able to detect and insert all possible design patterns into your source code. This work proposes the modeling of a multi-agent system to unify the refactoring methods in a single environment by contemplating an agent model capable of reading a source code and refactoring it using design patterns. The Prometheus methodology was used in the creation of the proposed model. As a result, a test scenario is presented in which the created model is able to read a code and apply design patterns.
