Code smells, we all know them, and they are bad 🙂 We know from research on professional developers that code smell can make performance on reading and maintaining code worse. So the question we wanted to answer was: does this hold for novice users programming Scratch as well? tr;dr: Yes! Code clones and long methods […]

Like I wrote about a few weeks back, all the refactorings made me reflect on some names. It started out simple, as I said three weeks back, Desi.Player I had in F# (so the type, not the class) should be called something like “direction” as it represents just where the players are. I think this is […]
So you want to tell the scientist about the real world?
This year, I am chairing the ‘industry track’ of ICSME: the international conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution, and you, yes you can be a part of this. In the regular, research, track, we are looking for paper that have made a novel contribution, for example a new algorithm to detect duplication in source code. […]
