Detecting Code Smells in Spreadsheet Formulas
We just learned this paper is accepted at ICSM 2012. The idea The basic idea of this paper is to investigate whether we could apply the known code smells invented by Martin Fowler in his book Refactoring to spreadsheet formulas. You could view a formula as a small piece of code, so it makes sense to […]
