On Friday, May 30, 2014 Mehmet Kaya successfully defended his Dissertation
"Identifying Extract Class and Extract Method Refactoring Opportunities Through Analysis of Variable Declarations and Uses".
Mehmet presented interesting ideas he developed for refactoring C++ software source code using static analysis tools developed
by our research group which he significantly extended. To support that process he created new visualization tools that support the process in
a relatively simple and useful manner.
One of his major results is a quantitative process for accessing
cohesiveness of classes and code fragments within a method, with constructive methods for refactoring into more cohesive components.
Mehmet defended his research effectively and received complements from several of his committee members.
