LLM Code Smells: A Taxonomy and Detection Approach
Researchers have developed a new taxonomy and detection method for "LLM code smells," which are poor integration practices of large language models in software systems. Their static analysis tool, SpecDetect4LLM, was evaluated on over 690 open-source projects. The findings indicate that these code smells are prevalent, affecting over 73% of analyzed systems, with the detection tool achieving high precision. AI
