| Popis: | International audience; Giving good class names is an important task. Good programmers often report that they take several attempts to find an adequate one. Often programmers do not name consistently classes within a package, project or hierarchy. This is a problem because it hampers understanding the systems. In this article we present a simple heuristic (a distribution) to characterise class naming. We combine such a heuristic with structural information to identify inconsistent class names. In addition, we use this simple heuristic to give packages a shape. We applied such heuristic to 285 packages in Pharo to identify misnamed classes. Some of these misnamed classes are reported and discussed here. |
