An Ontology-Based Approach to Reduce the Negative Impact of Code Smells in Software Development Projects

IEEE Access, 2023
The quality of software systems may be seriously impacted by specific types of source code anomalies. For example, poor programming practices result in Code Smells (CSs), which are a specific type of source code anomalies.

Exploring the Connection between the TDD Practice and Test Smells—A Systematic Literature Review

Computers
Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile practice of writing test code before production code, following three stages: red, green, and refactor. In the red stage, the test code is written; in the green stage, the minimum code necessary to make the test ...

Code Smells Thresholds Optimization: Defect Prediction as a Case Study

Algorithms
In software engineering, detecting and managing code smells are pivotal for maintaining software quality and reducing the risk of defects. Code smells signify potential issues in code that, while not problematic in themselves, may indicate deeper design ...

Prioritizing the refactoring need for critical component using combined approach [PDF]

Decision Science Letters, 2018
One of the most promising strategies that will smooth out the maintainability issues of the software is refactoring. Due to lack of proper design approach, the code often inherits some bad smells which may lead to improper functioning of the code ...
