Abstract
Refactoring means applying systematic and controllable transformation rules to improve the system design while retaining the externally observable behavior. This chapter first discusses the method of applying refactoring rules and the concepts of model transformations. On this basis, the chapter then develops a notion of observation which is based on UML/P test cases and practically usable.
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
