Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Code smell detection tools not only help practitioners and researchers detect maintainability issues but also enable repository mining and empirical research involving code smells. However, current tools for detecting code smells exhibit notable shortcomings, such as limited coverage for a diverse kind of smells at varying granularities, lack of maintenance, and inadequate support for large-scale mining studies. To address the limitations, the first major version of DesigniteJava supported code smells detection at architecture, design, and implementation smells along with commonly used code quality metrics. This paper presents DesigniteJava 2.0 that adds testability and test smell detection support. Also, the tool offers new analysis modes, including an optimized multi-commit analysis mode, to support large-scale multi-commit analysis. We show that the optimized multi-commit mode reduces analysis time by up to 46% without compromising the analysis efficacy. The tool is available online. Replication package including all the validation data and scripts can be found online [27]. Demonstration video can be found on YouTube.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
