abstract = {Research on software testing generally focusses on
the effectiveness of test suites to detect bugs. The
quality of the test code in terms of maintainability
remains mostly ignored. However, just like production
code, test code can suffer from code smells that
imply refactoring opportunities. In this paper, we
will summerize the state-of-the-art in the field of
test refactoring. We will show that there is a gap in
the tool support, and pro-pose future work which will
aim to fill this gap.},
