The Infer Type Refactoring and its Use for Interface-Based Programming

Abstract

The author presents a new refactoring named “Infer Type”, which by using type inference completely automates the construction of new, context-specific interfaces and their use in variable declarations, thus supporting greater decoupling and access protection of code, and serving the goals of interface-based programming.
