abstract = {Refactoring ---transforming the source-code of an
object-oriented program without changing its external
observable behaviour--- is a restructuring process
aimed at resolving evolution obstacles. Currently
however, the efficiency of the refactor process in
terms of quality improvements remains unclear. Such
quality improvement can be expressed in terms of an
impact on OO metrics. The formalization of these
metrics is based on the same constructs as
refactoring postconditions. Therefore, in this
position paper, we elaborate on a research approach
to derive Object-Oriented metric impacts from
refactoring postconditions, in order to provide
qualitative guidelines on the application of specific
refactorings to resolve quality deficiencies.},
