What are some class names that would signal a need for refactoring? [closed]

Answer 1

Everything suggested on How To Write Unmaintainable Code.

Answer 2

Abstract Template Model Factory Object

These are all really generic, and some of them could be obvious from the class definition. Others are obviously better noted in a short bit of documentation (easy reference of which is one reason to like resharper)

Answer 3

Anything that may override standard classes (ex: Comparator, Iterable &c. in Java), unless you understand and specifically intend to cause this kind of behaviour.

Answer 4

This

that's always a bad call.

Answer 5

Any name that contains characters that are not 7bit ascii.

I really cannot understand or even edit Hindi characters.

class हिन्दी:হিন্দী ঠার
{
  // argh.. 
}

Answer 6

Articles (The, A, An)

Pronouns and names (My, Their, John)

Numbers, except for spec versions (2, 3, 5000)

Fluffy adjectives (Fast, Smart, Good, Better)

Foreign language that the majority of the team doesn't understand (Ελληνικά)
