Software Refactoring Workbook sample chapter: Measuring smells
You can think of these smells as being caught by a software metric. Each metric tends to catch different aspects of why code isn’t as good as it could be. Some metrics measure variants of code length; others try to measure the connections between methods or objects; others measure a distance from an ideal.
Smells Covered: Comments, Long Method, Large Class, Long Parameter List.
