New Tool Makes Refactoring Java Code Easier and More Efficient
Refactoring software to make it easier to read and maintain can be tough and time-consuming. A new tool called LiveRef focuses on live refactoring, which means it gives immediate suggestions and shows you the results of making changes to your code. The tool specifically helps with Extract Method refactorings. An experiment showed that using LiveRef improved the quality of the code and was well-liked by the people who tried it. You can check out the source code of the tool on GitHub and watch a demo video on YouTube.
