The EA Smell Catalog builds on the original RWTH Aachen catalog and its foundational publication. Individual entries document the observations, examples and sources available for that smell.
How to interpret the entries
A smell indicates a potential issue. Investigate the relevant architecture, model or process and consider whether the context explains the observation. Where a publication reference is still being traced, the entry records that status.
How to cite the catalog
For a specific smell, cite the entry title, its permanent URL and your access date. Cite the foundational publication when referring to the original catalog research.
