Code smell

  • Code duplication

  • Feature envy

    • Method makes multiple calls to methods and attributes of another class, which means that the method isn't in the right class
    • Solution
      • Move the method, or some part of the method to the right class
  • God class (Winnebago)

    • Class with a lot of attributes and dependencies to other classes. It's du to the fact that we're able to design a correct architecture for the code
    • Solutions
      • Divide and rule
      • Use abstract classes
  • Large class

  • Long method

  • Long parameter list

    • Solutions
      • Remove parameters that resulted from the call to another objet and use the objet as parameter
      • Group the parameters which could form a separate method
  • cyclomatic complexity
