Tools, almost always pure software, to help refactor (restructure) computer code, especially inheritance hierarchies. All such software automatically analyzes code. Some of it automatically refactors code. Some even automatically deletes duplicate code. Such tools are most useful for Forth, and object-oriented code, and even more so for prototype-based code.
