Additional information

<8> The paper added to the relatively small body of knowledge which seriously questioned the extent to which developers used object-oriented (OO) inheritance to deep levels (contrary to a founding tenet of the OO paradigm). The results have been a key dissemination point at invited talks; class movement, addition, modification and removal as well as the collapse of inheritance hierarchies have helped to shape our future refactoring studies, code smell questions and contributed to the body of knowledge on software evolution.
