Refactoring and smells have been well researched by the software-engineering research
community these past decades. Several secondary studies have been published on code …

Phishing is a fraud attempt in which an attacker acts as a trusted person or entity to obtain
sensitive information from an internet user. In this Systematic Literature Survey (SLR) …

Context Smells in software systems impair software quality and make them hard to maintain
and evolve. The software engineering community has explored various dimensions …

Refactoring is the process of changing the internal structure of software to improve its quality
without modifying its external behavior. Empirical studies have repeatedly shown that …

Context: Refactoring is the art of modifying the design of a system without altering its
behavior. The idea is to reorganize variables, classes and methods to facilitate their future …

Refactoring a software artifact is an embedded task in the maintenance phase of the
software life cycle. To reduce the time and effort required for this task, researchers proposed …

Code smells tend to compromise software quality and also demand more effort by
developers to maintain and evolve the application throughout its life-cycle. They have long …

Context: Code smells are symptoms of wrong design decisions or coding shortcuts that may
increase defect rate and decrease maintainability. Research on code smells is accelerating …

Abstract Design Smells are indicators of situations that negatively affect software quality
attributes such as understandability, testability, extensibility, reusability, and maintainability …

Code smells are indicators of potential problems in software. They tend to have a negative
impact on software quality. Several studies use machine learning techniques to detect bad …
