Refactoring to Modernize Java Applications

IDEs have provided ways to refactor code for a long time now. In spite of their effectiveness, that journey is arduous and time consuming. Reluctance to refactor increases the cost of development. However, refactoring for the sake of doing so can lead to greater productivity loss as well. In this presentation we will use data driven approach. We will take examples of code, measure code quality, and then use automated code transformation tools to refactor the code, and then, once again, measure the quality of code and see how much we have improved. This can help us to not only refactor faster but also see the benefits realized and motivate us to move faster with greater efficiency.
