Automated Software Refactoring with OpenRewrite and Generative AI - Spring I/O 2024

Explore automated software refactoring techniques using OpenRewrite and Generative AI in this 45-minute conference talk from Spring I/O 2024. Delve into the challenges of mass code refactoring in large, diverse codebases and learn how the combination of deterministic refactoring engines and AI can revolutionize software maintenance. Discover the OpenRewrite refactoring engine, born at Netflix, and its use of Lossless Semantic Tree (LST) representation for accurate, style-preserving code transformations. Gain insights into coupling rule-based systems with AI to identify and fix code defects. Understand the emerging pattern of "ChatGPT gets a computer" and its potential impact on software development practices.
