Abstract

During development process software may encounter design flaws which are referred as “code smell”. These code smells are potential faults that can be handled using suitable refactoring approach. Refactoring being an expensive process is a thought provocation task, and there is a need to identify the relationship between code smells and design metrics by considering expert’s opinion. The approach adopted in this paper ranks the design metrics, according to their criticality and need using AHP. This method helps to identify refactoring approach that may be used to improve the code and needs to be implemented before the execution phase. The proposed approach is explained considering a case study of medium sized software.
