Code Smells

Code Smells

1. Quick-easy to spot problems that lead to deeper issues in the system

2. You may find code smells in checking or refactoring your code

3. Examples

   • Duplicated Code
     • Clumps
   • Easier for developers to place methods in the same classes
   • Complex Switch and/or If statements
   • Refused Bequest

4. Most often caused by a disregard for technical debt

   • Designers or developer's care about a faster design
   • Less technicality causes greater risk for deeper issues
