Beyond Technical Aspects: How Do Community Smells Influence the Intensity of Code Smells?

Code smells are poor implementation choices applied by developers during software evolution that often lead to critical flaws or failure. Much in the same way, community reflect presence of organizational and socio-technical issues within a may additional project costs. Recent empirical studies provide evidence often-if not always-connected circumstances such as code smells. In this paper we look deeper into connection conducting mixed-methods study 117 releases from 9 open-source systems. The qualitative quantitative sides our were run parallel assume mutually-confirmative connotation. On one hand, survey 162 considered systems investigate whether perceive relationship between found those projects. other perform fine-grained analysis dataset measure extent which impact smell intensity (i.e., criticality). We then propose prediction model relies on both technical community-related aspects. results conclusion: factors contribute This conclusion supports joint use detection mechanism for management social problems around development communities.
