Purpose: Code smells are residuals of technical debt induced by the developers. They hinder evolution, adaptability and maintenance of the software. Meanwhile, they are very beneficial in indicating the loopholes of problems and bugs in the software. Machine learning has been extensively used to predict Code Smells in research. The current study aims to optimise the prediction using Ensemble Learning and Feature Selection techniques on three open-source Java data sets. Design and Results: The work Compares four varied approaches to detect code smells using four performance measures Accuracy(P1), G-mean1 (P2), G-mean2 (P3), and F-measure (P4). The study found out that values of the performance measures did not degrade it instead of either remained same or increased with feature selection and Ensemble Learning. Random Forest turns out to be the best classifier while Correlation-based Feature selection(BFS) is best amongst Feature Selection techniques. Ensemble Learning aggregators, i.e. ET5C2 (BFS intersection Relief with classifier Random Forest), ET6C2 (BFS union Relief with classifier Random Forest), and ET5C1 (BFS intersection Relief with Bagging) and Majority Voting give best results from all the aggregation combinations studied. Conclusion: Though the results are good, but using Ensemble learning techniques needs a lot of validation for a variety of data sets before it can be standardised. The Ensemble Learning techniques also pose a challenge concerning diversity and reliability and hence needs exhaustive studies.
