Table 14

Subset of rules from optimal rule subset.

Rules for detection	Code smell
IF ObjectCreator AND FieldReader	BL
IF Exception AND ArrayReader	FE
IF FieldWriter AND LocalWriter	FD
IF ArrayWriter AND Looping AND LocalWriter	SC
IF ArrayReader AND ArrayWriter	DC

BL: blob, FE-feature envy, FD: functional decomposition, SC: spaghetti code, and DC: data class.
