Machine learning techniques for code smell detection: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Background: Code smells indicate suboptimal design or implementation choices in the
source code that often lead it to be more change-and fault-prone. Researchers defined …

Comparing and experimenting machine learning techniques for code smell detection
Several code smell detection tools have been developed providing different results,
because smells can be subjectively interpreted, and hence detected, in different ways. In this …

When and why your code starts to smell bad (and whether the smells go away)
Technical debt is a metaphor introduced by Cunningham to indicate “not quite right code
which we postpone making it right”. One noticeable symptom of technical debt is …
