Abstract

Software engineers often need to identify design defects, recurring design problems that hinder the development process, to improve and assess the quality of their systems. However, this is di脗卤cult because of the lack of specifications and tools. We propose Decor, a method to specify design defects systematically and to generate automatically detection algorithms. With this method, software engineers analyse and specify design defects at a high-level of abstraction using a unified vocabulary and dedicated language for generating detection algorithms
