Simon Thompson Professor School of Computing University of Kent, UK Improving your Erlang programs and tests with Wrangler Wrangler is a refactoring tool for the Erlang programming language, written in Erlang itself. After introducing the tool and showing some of its features I will concentrate on the 'similar code' detection facilities of Wrangler, and discuss how they are implemented. These features, when combined with its portfolio of refactorings, allow test code to be shrunk dramatically, under the guidance of the test engineer, and this is illustrated in an extended example of some commercial test code. Biography Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the Computing Laboratory of the University of Kent, where he has taught computing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past twenty five years, and where he has been department head for the last seven. His research work has centered on functional programming: program verification, type systems, and most recently development of software tools for functional programming languages. His team has built the HaRe tool for refactoring Haskell programs, and is currently developing Wrangler to do the same for Erlang. His research has been funded by various agencies including EPSRC and the European Framework programme. He has written four books in his field of interest; Type Theory and Functional Programming published in 1991; Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming (1995) and Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (2nd ed. 1999), Addison Wesley/Pearson. In 2009 with Francesco Cesarini he published Erlang Programming with O'Reilly.
