Abstract: Software systems are constantly evolving making their architecture vulnerable to decay and the emergence of numerous design problems. This paper focuses on the occurrence of design smells in software systems and their elimination through the use of refactoring activities. To do this, the data relating to the presence of Design Smell, the use of refactoring, and the result of this use are analyzed in detail. In particular, the history of five open-source Java software systems and of 17 different types of design smells is studied. Overall, the results show that the removal of Design Smells is not correlated with the use of refactoring techniques. The analysis also provides useful insights about the developers’ use of refactoring activities, the likelihood of refactoring on affected commits and clean commits, and removing and/or adding Design Smells both during refactoring and manual code cleaning operations.
