Refactoring data transforms in MaTSE for flexibility.
Paul Craig, Jessie Kennedy · Edinburgh Napier Research Repository (Edinburgh Napier University) · 2009
In early prototypes of the Microarray Time-series Explorer(MaTSE) data transforms were tightly coupled with visualisation components. While this allowed us to achieve our initial objective of developing the application to the level where we were able to demonstrate the basic visualisation technique with a specific dataset, refactoring to a more flexible code structure was required in order to apply a larger number of transforms and accommodate a wider variety of data-sets. This paper reports on our planning andexecution of this refactoring exercise.
