A Multi-Objective Approach for Software Quality Improvement

Abstract

Software industry always demands high-quality software that must be reliable, robust, flexible, reusable, effective, and extendable. To improve software quality refactoring is an efficient and frequently opted technique. Most of the refactoring work has been done on the source code level less work has been done on model-based. Model base refactoring is more difficult to estimate. In this research paper, the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) is applied to find how software quality is affected by refactoring technique. It impacts the software quality in both positive as well as negative way.
