On the Quality of Identifiers in Test Code
2019 19th International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM), 2019Meaningful, expressive identifiers in source code can enhance the readability and reduce comprehension efforts. Over the past years, researchers have devoted considerable effort to understanding and improving the naming quality of identifiers in source code.

Is software quality visible in the code
IEEE Software, 1998Finding and fixing software code defects is crucial to product quality. It also, however, often proves difficult and time-consuming, especially late in the development cycle. While some believe that code analysis provides a simple way to detect quality defects, the authors argue otherwise.

Work-In-Progress: Code Quality Issues of Computing Undergraduates
IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference, 2022Several studies report code quality issues in academia by analysing student submissions. However, most of them focus on novices or a specific integrated development environment (IDE), and the findings might be less representative of code quality issues ...

On the characteristics of buggy code clones: A code quality perspective
2018 IEEE 12th International Workshop on Software Clones (IWSC), 2018Code clone is an immensely studied code smell. Not all the clones in a software system are equally harmful. Earlier work studied various traits of clones including their stability and relationships with program faults against non-cloned code. This paper presents a comparative study on the characteristics of buggy and non-buggy clones from a code ...

Do Prompt Patterns Affect Code Quality? A First Empirical Assessment of ChatGPT-Generated Code
International Conference on Evaluation & Assessment in Software EngineeringLarge Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly transformed software development, especially in code generation. However, their inconsistent performance, prone to hallucinations and quality issues, complicates program comprehension and hinders maintainability.

On the Evolution of Inheritance and Delegation Mechanisms and Their Impact on Code Quality
IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering, 2022Source code reuse is considered one of the holy grails of modern software development. Indeed, it has been widely demonstrated that this activity decreases software development and maintenance costs while increasing its overall trustwor-thiness.

AGILE 2006 (AGILE'06), 2006
Using data from more than 80 development projects, this paper attempts to answer the question: how much effort should be invested into code quality? It is shown that a "quick and dirty" approach is actually preferable in some situations. Volatility of requirements, expected breadth of usage, customers' defect tolerance, cost of defect fixing and system

Introducing Code Quality at CS1 Level: Examples and Activities
ITiCSE-WGRCharacterising code quality is a challenge that was addressed by a previous ITiCSE Working Group (Börstler et al., 2017). As emerged from that study, educators, developers, and students have different perceptions of the aspects involved.

To What Extent Can Code Quality be Improved by Eliminating Test Smells?
2022 International Conference on Code Quality (ICCQ), 2022Software testing is a key activity to guarantee software reliability and maintainability. However, developers tend to ignore the maintenance of test code when performing a tradeoff between code quality and release deadlines.
