Better manpower utilization using automatic restructuring
Guy de Balbine · 1975
Our intent is to introduce the concept of automatic restructuring as a powerful method for improving the quality of software developed before the advent of structured programming. The quality improvements we are concerned with are neither execution time efficiency nor core size requirements but, rather, higher readability and clear structured code. These, in turn, should improve the reliability and reduce the maintenance costs by making human verification more efficient.
