Abstract

객체 지향 설계를 재구조화하기 위해서는 메소드와 속성들 사이의 관계를 파악해야 한다. 메소드와 속성들이 동일한 클래스에 속하는지를 추론하는 과정은 클래스 자료 참조 분석과 메소드 호출 분석에 의존한다. 최근의 많은 소프트웨어들은 규모가 방대하고 복잡하여 개발자가 도구를 사용하지 않고 수작업으로 설계를 재구조화기 어려우며 또한 너무 많은 시간과 노력이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 메트릭을 이용하여 객체 지향 설계를 자동적으로 재구조화하는 방법을 기술한다. 먼저 메소드, 속성, 클래스, 그리고 그들의 관계츨 추상화된 모델로 표시한다. 이 모델을 기반으로 객체 지향 설계를 정량적으로 측정할 응집도와 결합도 메트릭을 정의한다. 본 논문의 메크릭은 재고조화 과정 동안에 여러 다른 설계들을 효율적으로 비교하기 위한 유용한 기준을 제공한다. 기본 재구조화 행위들과 그 의미(semantics)를 정의하고 메트릭과 행위들을 사용하여 설계를 자동적으로 재구조화한다.
