摘要

标识符名称是理解的原子;弱标识符名称增加了开发人员犯错的机会，并增加了理解代码块所需的时间，从而降低了生产力。因此，支持开发人员命名和重命名标识符是至关重要的。在本文中，我们研究了在应用重命名重构过程中标识符中的术语是如何变化的，并使用共同发生的重构和提交消息将这些变化置于上下文环境中。这项工作的目标是了解在重命名期间不同的开发活动如何影响应用于名称的更改类型。本研究的结果可以帮助研究人员更多地了解开发人员的命名习惯，并支持开发人员决定何时重命名以及使用哪些单词。

Contextualizing Rename Decisions using Refactorings and Commit Messages

Identifier names are the atoms of comprehension; weak identifier names decrease productivity by increasing the chance that developers make mistakes and increasing the time taken to understand chunks of code. Therefore, it is vital to support developers in naming, and renaming, identifiers. In this paper, we study how terms in an identifier change during the application of rename refactorings and contextualize these changes using co-occurring refactorings and commit messages. The goal of this work is to understand how different development activities affect the type of changes applied to names during a rename. Results of this study can help researchers understand more about developers' naming habits and support developers in determining when to rename and what words to use.
