Haris Mumtaz, Paramvir Singh, Kelly Blincoe · 2022
Background: Software smells reflect the sub-optimal patterns in the software. In a similar way, community smells consider the sub-optimal patterns in the organizational and social structures of software teams. Related work performed empirical studies to identify the relationship between community smells and software smells at the architecture and code levels. However, how community smells relate with design smells is still unknown.
