Software maintenance is a necessary and inevitable activity in software engineering. It helps
in keeping a software system healthy with the continuous change mandated by the changing …

Software bug prediction is the process of utilizing classification and/or regression algorithms
to predict the presence of possible errors (or defects) in a source code. However, current …

Code smells are indications of design issues in software. The importance of early detection
of these indicators helps in improving the maintenance process and raising the efficiency of …

Software requirements are constantly changing. Consequently, the development process is
frequently under time pressure, which results in technical debt. To illustrate the symptoms of …

Code smells are an indication of deviation from design principles or implementation in the
source code. Early detection of these code smells increases software quality by using …

Architectural smells (ASs) negatively affect the maintenance and evolution of software at the
architectural level. Most of the current approaches for ASs identification rely on the same …

Code smells are indicators of poor design implementation and decision-making that can
potentially harm the quality of software. Therefore, detecting these smells is crucial to …

Large Class code smell refers to the classes that tend to centralize the intelligence of the
system. Large Class indicates weaknesses in design that can possibly slow down the …

Software maintenance phase involves successive code changes due to the reported bugs
causing the emergence of bad smells in the code. Gradual code deterioration is the result of …

Abstract Machine learning-based code smell detection was introduced to mitigate the
limitations of the heuristic-based approach and the subjectivity issues. Due to limited …
