Design smell, the Glossary

Index Design smell

In computer programming, a design smell is a structure in a design that indicates a violation of fundamental design principles, and which can negatively impact the project's quality.[1]

Anti-pattern

An anti-pattern in software engineering, project management, and business processes is a common response to a recurring problem that is usually ineffective and risks being highly counterproductive.

See Design smell and Anti-pattern

Circular dependency

In software engineering, a circular dependency is a relation between two or more modules which either directly or indirectly depend on each other to function properly.

See Design smell and Circular dependency

Code smell

In computer programming, a code smell is any characteristic in the source code of a program that possibly indicates a deeper problem. Design smell and code smell are computer programming folklore, Odor and software engineering folklore.

See Design smell and Code smell

Computer programming

Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks.

See Design smell and Computer programming

Duplicate code

In computer programming, duplicate code is a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity.

See Design smell and Duplicate code

Martin Fowler (software engineer)

Martin Fowler (18 December 1963) is a British software developer, author and international public speaker on software development, specialising in object-oriented analysis and design, UML, patterns, and agile software development methodologies, including extreme programming.

Software design

Software design is the process of conceptualizing how a software system will work before it is implemented or modified.

See Design smell and Software design

Software rot

Software rot (bit rot, code rot, software erosion, software decay, or software entropy) is the degradation, deterioration, or loss of the use or performance of software over time. Design smell and software rot are software engineering folklore.

See Design smell and Software rot

Technical debt

In software development and other information technology fields, technical debt (also known as design debt or code debt) is the implied cost of future reworking because a solution prioritizes expedience over long-term design.
