Paper abstract bibtex Software evolution and development are continuous activities that have a never-ending cycle. While developers commit changes on a software system to fix bugs or to implement new requirements, they sometimes introduce anti-patterns, which are bad solutions to recurring design problems in the system. Many previous studies have shown that these anti-patterns have negative effects on code quality, in particular fault-proneness. However, it is not clear if and how anti-patterns evolve and which evolutionary behaviours are more fault-prone. This paper presents results from an empirical study aimed at understanding the evolution of anti-patterns in 27 releases of three open-source software systems: ArgoUML, Mylyn, and Rhino. Specifically, the study analyzes the mutations of anti-patterns, the changes that they undergo, and the relation between anti-pattern evolution behaviours and fault-proneness. Results show that (1) anti-patterns mutate from one type of anti-patterns to another, (2) structural changes are behind these mutations, and (3) some mutations are more risky in terms of fault-proneness.

ABSTRACT = {Software evolution and development are continuous
activities that have a never-ending cycle. While developers commit
changes on a software system to fix bugs or to implement new
requirements, they sometimes introduce anti-patterns, which are bad
solutions to recurring design problems in the system. Many previous
studies have shown that these anti-patterns have negative effects on
code quality, in particular fault-proneness. However, it is not clear
if and how anti-patterns evolve and which evolutionary behaviours are
more fault-prone. This paper presents results from an empirical study
aimed at understanding the evolution of anti-patterns in 27 releases
of three open-source software systems: ArgoUML, Mylyn, and Rhino.
Specifically, the study analyzes the mutations of anti-patterns, the
changes that they undergo, and the relation between anti-pattern
evolution behaviours and fault-proneness. Results show that (1)
anti-patterns mutate from one type of anti-patterns to another, (2)
structural changes are behind these mutations, and (3) some mutations
are more risky in terms of fault-proneness.}
