Looking for Patterns in Code Bad Smells Relations
Bartosz Walter, Pawel Martenka · 2011
Code smells are the named design anomalies that indicate to a need for refactoring. Due to their diverse and ambiguous nature, their identification in code requires complex methods. In the paper we formulate a hypothesis that some smells make associations that are repeatable and can be treated as patterns. We present also early results of investigation of two Large Class-related patterns.
