Abstract
Refactoring is widely recognized as a method to improve the internal qualities of source code. However, manual refactoring is time-consuming and error-prone. Consequently, many tools to support automated refactoring have been suggested, but most support only unit and simple refactoring, making it difficult to perform composite refactoring (e.g., introducing a design pattern) where a refactoring set is applied at one position or the same refactoring operation is applied at multiple positions. In this paper, we propose a novel script language and its processor to describe how and where to refactor by a model expressing source code∗<sup>1</sup>. Evaluations indicate that our language and processor allow refactoring steps to be described as scripts, which can be easily replayed and reused for multiple projects.
