Undergraduate Research
What?
Code Smell analysis
Who?
Individual student with a professor.
My role is to create scripts, write papers, and to develop the tool for data collection.
Why?
Explore my passion for research.
What did I gain from this?
I had never done research before this. I didn't even know what code smells were when I started. I knew that this would be
a challenge to juggle learning the knowledge needed for research and also staying afloat with the work and school.
But I learned so much, I learned that research and the process of learning something new and challenging myself was
what I wanted to do. I learned that I had a passion for the process of research: Ask a question, create a hypothesis,
test that hypothesis, discuss the result with everyone. I learned that being the least smart person in a room means that
I can learn so much from everyone.
I learned about code smells, GitHub, NVD, Maven, Statistics, Machine Learning, how to make a presentation on my research,
how to deal with red tape, and Python scripting.
