| Abstract | One of the techniques to increase the value of the software quality is refactoring - the set of activities for code enhancement through altering inner structure and not altering outer behavior of code. It is a technique to clean-up the source code that decreasing the opportunities of code faults. Refactoring can be defined as one of the most significant practices for maintaining the advanced software systems. It has been indicated by the empirical studies that refactoring has positive effect on maintainability and understandability of the software systems. This study introduces a literature review of 22 researches that study and summarize the influence of refactoring and their effect on the attributes of software quality specially maintainability. Through the review, the study sums the following points: (1) applying refactoring activities will increase the values of some attributes of quality like Understandability and maintainability. (2) There are several factors that affect reconstruction activities, including cohesion, coupling, hiding of information and encapsulation, (3) Refactoring helps to improve the source code without changing the behavior of the program, (4) refactoring activates can be applied many times to the source code. |

إعادة البناء هي احدى تقنيات زيادة قيمة جودة البرمجيات و هي-مجموعة من الأنشطة لتحسين الشفرة المصدرية من خلال تغيير الهيكل الداخلي و عدم تغيير السلوك الخارجي. و إنها تقنية لتنظيف الشفرة المصدرية و التقليل من فرص حدوث الأخطاء داخلها. و يمكن تعريف إعادة البناء على أنها واحدة من أهم الممارسات لصيانة أنظمة البرمجيات المتقدمة. و قد أشارت الدراسات التجريبية إلى أن إعادة البناء لها تأثير إيجابي على قابلية الصيانة و قابلية الفهم لأنظمة البرمجيات. تم في هذه الدراسة تقديم مراجعة أدبية لأثنين و عشرين بحثا من دراسة و تلخيص تأثير إعادة البناء على خصائص جودة البرمجيات و منها قابلية الصيانة. من خلال دراسة البحوث المتعلقة بإعادة البناء تبين أن (1) تطبيق أنشطة إعادة البناء سيزيد من قيم بعض خصائص الجودة مثل قابلية الفهم وقابلية الصيانة، (2) هناك العديد من العوامل التي تؤثر على أنشطة إعادة البناء، بما في ذلك التماسك و الاقتران و إخفاء المعلومات و التغليف، (3) إعادة البناء تساعد على تحسين الشفرة المصدرية دون تغيير سلوك البرنامج (4) يمكن تطبيق أنشطة إعادة البناء عدة مرات على الشفرة المصدرية.
