| Abstract: |
|
Software is continuously growing in size and getting more and more complex while development
cycles are getting shorter. The resulting software aging effect leads to a decay
in software quality causing maintainability problems and bugs. Software engineering techniques
like modularization, object-orientation, design patterns, aspect-oriented programming
or refactoring have been developed to slow down the software aging effects, increase
flexibility and support reuse.
Software tests written in the TTCN-3 core notation also suffer from the effects of software
aging. Huge efforts are spent to maintain TTCN-3 test suites, but even standardized test
suites often consist of few files with a length of several ten-thousand lines each. Refactoring
is a proven technique to systematically restructure code to improve its quality and
maintainability while preserving the semantics which can also be applied to TTCN-3.
In this thesis, existing well known refactorings have been investigated for their applicability
and a catalog with 20 specific refactorings for TTCN-3 is presented. In addition, a tool
called TRex based on the Eclipse Platform has been implemented which provides the infrastructure
for automating TTCN-3 refactorings and corresponding sample implementations
of TTCN-3 refactorings. |
