DARTS

DARTS (Detection And Refactoring of Test Smells) is an Intellij plug-in which implements a state-of-the-art detection mechanism to detect instances of three test smell types, i.e., General Fixture, Eager Test, and Lack of Cohesion of Test Methods, at commit-level and enables their automated refactoring through the integrated APIs provided by Intellij. In this fork, it also provides a mechanism able to mine data from projects' repositories in order to evaluate if detected smells impact on change- and defect- proneness of the production classes.
