How are test smells treated in the wild? A tale of two empirical studies
2021
Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development
Preserved Fulltext
In this context, this study aims to understand whether software testing practitioners unintentionally insert test smells when they implement test code. ...
Therefore, test smells may harm the test code quality and maintenance and break the whole software testing activities. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank the participants in our survey and pilot study. ...

In order to validate the presented usability smells catalog, and the associated refactorings, we present a preliminary empirical study with software developers in the context of a real open source hospital ...
To eliminate such usability smells we discuss a set of program/usability refactorings. ...
What is the opinion of the programmers about these smells? 2. Do Usability Smells affect an application's usability? 3. What kind of refactoring can be used to change these smells? 4. ...

We learned that 80 out of 314 catalogued code smells are "worst"; that is, developers agreed that these 80 smells should never exist in any code base. ...
Finally, in follow-up phone interviews with five developers we confirmed that these smells are indeed worst, and the interviewees proposed seven reasons for why they may be introduced in the first place ...
Given the type of our data, to test this hypothesis we made use of Fisher's exact test [36] .
