New tool CLEAN++ detects bad code smells in C++ software effectively!
The goal of the study was to develop a tool called CLEAN++ that can identify bad code smells in C++ software. The researchers implemented 35 code smells in the tool and tested it on 44 open-source projects. They also converted the test cases to Java and used Java tools to validate the effectiveness of CLEAN++. The results showed that CLEAN++ successfully detects code smells in C++ code.
