Abstract

Refactoring is now seen as an essential activity during software development and maintenance. In this paper, we describe a “rules + strategies” approach that allows the refactoring on UML static models together with OCL contracts. Our focus is on behavior-preserving model-to-model transformations. We also describe an experimental tool prototype to restructure object-oriented hierarchies.
