Introduction

Software applications are developed with a lot of methods using different programming languages and frameworks. In the process of development of a software application one need to write a lot of codes with their proper paradigms and structure. Following the proper logics and algorithms provide the application a better running environment and easiness, this will reduce the complexity of that developed application as well as allow the developer in maintain and updating the application in future.

Beside all these things it is very important to check or test the developed application. One can debug the application if there is any chance of getting the bugs or one can test the application for its functionality and the working process. The estimation of the testing result can be evaluated on the basis of the output of that program and can also be evaluated on the basis of their time complexity and other parameters. One of the other method to check the performance and quality of the code is by “Refactoring”. In Refactoring process the developer have to change the codes in such a manner that it will not affect the final output of the program (Paligot,2015). There are various methods of Refactoring which is discussed in this assignment briefly using the codes provided for this assignment.

Here, in this assignment it is clearly discussed about the refactoring and their process which is performed on the provided code. In this assignment the learner has used his GitHub repository to import and push the code and used Eclipse java IDE for refactoring and other updates in codes.

Introduction to GitHub repository

GitHub provides online platforms for the developers to write and cook their codes. Here coders can write as well as edit their codes and can also take references from someone other’s code. GitHub also provides a feature to create a repository of the code. F4 this assignment the learner is sung the GitHub repository to extract the provided code and to repost the code after refactoring and performing other operations from his local IDE. GitHub repository will provide the facility to the user to use and share the codes from copying the SSH or HTTP link of by cloning it to the local file.

Introduction to eclipse repository

Eclipse performs the same function as the GitHub does but it works offline for the local system. For this assignment the user is using the Eclipse IDE for creating the repository and to clone it and to push it to the GitHub repository. From the GitHub repository the user have to clone the code and have to use in the local IDE for operating on it. In the eclipse IDE they also provide the facility to create and edit the local as well as imported repository.

Introduction of Refactoring

In the process of software development there a lot of processes involved which should be performed to make a well-functioning and efficient software application. In the meanwhile refactoring is the one of them, usually the developers don’t prefer to check the developed application through the refactoring process but instead of this they prefer for the testing.

The process of refactoring mainly includes the distraction of codes which means in refactoring process the developer have to make changes in the code in such a way that it will not affect the final output data. The codes should be changes in such manner that the final result should be untouched and if in any case the final result gets changed the refactoring process will fail (Verdecchia,2018).

Refactoring methods

There are various types of refactoring, in the process of refactoring developer can change it with class, superclass or it’s objects, in each of the case the final result should remain same. There are some common refactoring methods which are mentioned below. Here in this assignment the learner will perform the refactoring process one by one with each and every method (Kim,2107).
