Abstract

Architectural problems constantly affect evolving software projects. When not properly addressed, those problems can hinder the longevity of a software system. Some studies revealed that a wide range of architectural problems are reected in source code through code anomalies. However, a software project often contains thousands of code anomalies and many of them have no relation to architectural problems. As a consequence, developers struggle to effectively determine which (groups of) anomalies are architecturally relevant. This work proposes criteria for prioritizing groups of code anomalies as indicators of architectural problems in evolving systems.
