초록

리팩토링은 기존 레거시 코드에 대한 품질을 확보하기 위한 공학적 기술로서, 프로그램의 기능은 변하지 않으면서 내부 구조를 개선하는 작업이다. 다양한 오픈 소스 소프트웨어가 재사용되면서, 기술적 이유 또는 시장 요구로 인하여 프로그래밍 언어 변환을 통한 소스 코드 재사용이 점진적으로 요구되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 에너지 효율성을 고려하는 언어 변환 리팩토링 기법은 임베디드 소프트웨어 개발의 생산성은 물론 품질 향상을 위한 중요한 수단으로 여겨지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제시된 에너지 절감형 리팩토링 기법에 추가하여 프로그래밍 언어의 문법 및 구조의 비교와 매핑을 통해 다른 언어로 변환하는 코드 리팩토링 기법을 제시하였다. 제안하는 리팩토링 기법의 활용은 소프트웨어 개발 언어의 환경변화에 대처하고, 기존 코드의 재사용을 높임으로써 신속한 소프트웨어 개발 및 품질 향상을 통한 제품의 경쟁력 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

Refactoring is an engineering technique for securing the quality of existing legacy code, improving the internal structure without changing the functionality of the software. Along with the reuse of open source software, reuse of source code through programming language conversion is increasingly required due to technical or market requirements. In this situation, the refactoring technique including language conversion as well as energy efficiency is considered to be an important means for improving the productivity and the quality of embedded software development. This paper proposes a code refactoring technique that converts the grammar and structure of a programming language into those of a different language through comparison and mapping, in addition to the existing energy efficient refactoring technique. The use of the proposed refactoring technique can expect to improve the competitiveness of the product through rapid software development and quality improvement by coping with the environment change of the software development language and enhancing the reuse of the existing code.
