Objective: In this work, we provide a complete assessment of the impact of two instances of two anti-patterns, Blob or Spaghetti Code, on program comprehension. ...
Conclusions: We report that, although single occurrences of Blob or Spaghetti code anti-patterns have little effect on code comprehension, two occurrences of either Blob or Spaghetti Code significantly ...

Motivation: Researchers have performed empirical studies to show that anti-patterns like Spaghetti Code and Blob create hurdles during program comprehension [5] , software evolution and maintenance activities ...

Therefore, we report our study of bidirectional mutations between design patterns and design anti-patterns and the impacts of these mutations on software change- and fault-proneness. ...
Usually, developers prefer to add code to an existing method instead of creating a new one [15] , which means that another line is added and then another, giving birth to a tangle of spaghetti code. ...
