| 2022 | Pytest-Smell: a smell detection tool for Python unit testsabstractCode quality and design are key factors in building a successful software application. It is known that a good internal structure assures a good external quality. To improve code quality, several guidelines and best practices are defined. Along with these, a key contribution is brought by unit testing. Just like the source code, unit test code is subject to bad programming practices, known as defects or smells, that have a negative impact on the quality of the software system. As a consequence, the system becomes harder to understand, maintain, and more prone to issues and bugs. In this respect, methods and tools that automate the detection of the aforementioned unit test smells are of the utmost importance. Alexandru Bodea |
