Abstract :
Detecting code smells in the code and consequently applying the right refactoring steps when necessary is very important to improve the quality of the code. Different tools have been proposed for code smell detection, each one characterized by particular features. The aim of this paper is to describe our experience on using different tools for code smell detection. We outline the main differences among them and the different results we obtained.
