Code Evaluation Using Fuzzy Logic
Publication Type:
Conference/Workshop Paper
Venue:
World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society
Publisher:
WSEAS and International Journal of Applied Mathematics
Abstract
This paper presents application of a fuzzy logic based system to automatically evaluate the
maintainability of code. Code evaluation is accomplished by rating its quality provided with bad smells in
code as inputs. Straightforward bad smells with existing software metrics tools are selected as inputs:
duplicated code, long methods, large classes having a high cyclomatic complexity, or a large number of
parameters and temporary fields. Removing these bad smells can result in significant code improvements
concerning readability and maintainability. However, the precise definition of attributes like small, long, large
or high is not clear, and their identification is rather subjective. Fuzzy logic values are suitable for capturing
partial correspondence to attributes and fuzzy rules model have been used to describe the relation between bad
smells and code quality. Model supporting the experimental evaluation of the fuzzy based code evaluation is
implemented in Java.Key-Words: - Fuzzy Logic, Reasoning Systems, Refactoring, Bad Smells
