Motivation

hello,
we are students at UFC (Federal University of Ceara - Brazil) and we would like to contribute to improving the quality of the project code. PMD was used to detect code smells in this project. PMD (Programming Mistake Detector) is a static source code analysis tool, widely used to detect code quality problems and code smells in software development projects. PMD helps identify areas of code that may be problematically inefficient or do not follow programming best practices.

List of code smells

When using pmd we find the following code smells:

• CommentSize (195 found)
• ExcessiveMethodLength (12 found)
• DataClass (27 found)
• ExcessiveClassLength (2 found)
• ExcessiveParameterList (2 found)
• GodClass (10 found)
• Duplicated Code (12 found)

Links

The results of the analysis can be found here

Refactoring process

Given the list, we will create a version of the project where we will factorize the smells. The idea is to carry out a series of refactorings and check whether the smells were removed correctly.
