REdiffs: Refactoring-aware difference viewer for java
Shinpei Hayashi, Sirinut Thangthumachit, Motoshi Saeki · 2013
Comparing and understanding differences between old and new versions of source code are necessary in various software development situations. However, if changes are tangled with refactorings in a single revision, then the resulting source code differences are more complicated. We propose an interactive difference viewer which enables us to separate refactoring effects from source code differences for improving the understandability of the differences.
