When and why your code starts to smell bad
In past and recent years, the issues related to managing technical debt received significant
attention by researchers from both industry and academia. There are several factors that …

When and why your code starts to smell bad (and whether the smells go away)
Technical debt is a metaphor introduced by Cunningham to indicate “not quite right code
which we postpone making it right”. One noticeable symptom of technical debt is …

Mining version histories for detecting code smells
Code smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices that may hinder
code comprehension, and possibly increase changeand fault-proneness. While most of the …

An experimental investigation on the innate relationship between quality and refactoring
Previous studies have investigated the reasons behind refactoring operations performed by
developers, and proposed methods and tools to recommend refactorings based on quality …

Some code smells have a significant but small effect on faults
We investigate the relationship between faults and five of Fowler et al.'s least-studied smells
