    • Performance comparison of software complexity metrics in an open source project 

      Zhang, Min; Baddoo, N. (Springer Nature, 2007)
      Software complexity measures are essential aspects of software engineering. Relatively few studies have been conducted to compare the performance of different complexity metrics. This paper describes an experimental ...
    • Prioritising refactoring using code bad smells 

      Zhang, Min; Baddoo, N.; Wernick, P.; Hall, T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)
      We investigated the relationship between six of Fowler et al.'s Code Bad Smells (Duplicated Code, Data Clumps, Switch Statements, Speculative Generality, Message Chains, and Middle Man) and software faults. In this paper ...
    • Some code smells have a significant but small effect on faults 

      Hall, Tracy; Zhang, Min; Bowes, David; Sun, Yi (2014-08)
      We investigate the relationship between faults and five of Fowler et al.'s least-studied smells in code: Data Clumps, Switch Statements, Speculative Generality, Message Chains, and Middle Man. We developed a tool to detect ...
