Abstract
- Code smells represent well known symptoms of problems at code level, and architectural smells can be seen as their counterpart at architecture level. If identified in a system, they are usually considered more critical than code smells, for their effect on maintainability issues. In this paper, we introduce a tool for the detection of architectural smells that could have an impact on the stability of a system. The detection techniques are based on the analysis of dependency graphs extracted from compiled Java projects and stored in a graph database. The results combine the information gathered from dependency and instability metrics to identify flaws hidden in the software architecture. We also propose some filters trying to avoid possible false positives.
