Resumo

Test smells are fragments of code that can affect the comprehensibility and the maintainability of the test code. Preventing, detecting, and correcting test smells are tasks that may require a lot of effort, and might not scale to large-sized projects when carried out manually. Currently, there are many tools available to support test smells detection. However, they usually do not provide neither a user-friendly interface nor automated support for refactoring the test code to remove test smells. In this work, we propose RAIDE, an open-source and IDE-integrated tool. RAIDE assists testers with an environment for automated detection of lines of code affected by test smells, as well as a semi-automated refactoring for Java projects using the JUnit framework.
