Paper Summary

Refactoring detection tools like RefactoringMiner and RefDiff help analyze changes made to software code. A new technique was tested by applying a refactoring in an IDE and checking if the tools could detect it. The study found that RefactoringMiner and RefDiff missed detecting some refactorings or classified them incorrectly. This highlights the need for better understanding of how refactorings work.
