Refactoring is a technique to make a computer program more readable and maintainable.A bad smell is an indication of some setback in the code, which requires refactoring to deal with.Many tools are available for detection and removal of these code smells.These tools vary greatly in detection methodologies and acquire different competencies.In this work, we studied different code smell detection tools minutely and try to comprehend our analysis by forming a comparative of their features and working scenario.We also extracted some suggestions on the bases of variations found in the results of both detection tools.
