Software Designers should be aware of address design smells that can evident as results of design and decision. In a software project, technical debt needs to be repaid habitually to avoid its accretion. Large technical debt significantly degrades the quality of the software system and affects the productivity of the development team. In tremendous cases, when the accumulated technical reckoning becomes so enormous that it cannot be paid off to any further extent the product has to be abandoned. In this paper, we bridge the gap analyzing to what coverage abstract information, extracted using textual analysis techniques, can be used to identify smells in source code. The proposed textual-based move toward for detecting smells in source code, fabricated as TACO (Textual Analysis for Code smell detection), has been instantiated for detecting the long parameter list smell and has been evaluated on three sampling Java open source projects. The results determined that TACO is able to indentified between 50% and 77% of the smell instances with a exactitude ranging between 63% and 67%. In addition, the results show that TACO identifies smells that are not recognized by approaches based on exclusively structural information
