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 …

Repairing code smells detected in the code or design of the system is one of the activities
contributing to increasing the software quality. In this study, we investigate the impact of non …

Code smells (CS) are anomalies in the source code of software which may affect its structure
and quality. They affect the maintainability of the systems because reduce reusability and …

This work deals with the development of a classification algorithm that will improve the
usefulness of design smell detection tools for its adoption in industry in order to increase …
