Identifying Refactoring Opportunities for Removing Code Clones with A Metrics-based Approach

Active Clones: Source Code Clones at Runtime

Code cloning is a common programming practice, and there have been a considerable amount of research that investigated the implications of code clones on software maintenance using static analysis. However, little has been done to investigate the runtime implications of code cloning. In this paper we investigate source code clones at runtime, referring to clones as ‘active clones’ if they are i...

Evolving Code Clones

The goal of this project plan is to give an short overview of the topic that lies beneath the diploma thesis. It describes the main tasks and outcomes that should be achieved during this thesis. Since time management is an essential part of writing a diploma thesis, this plan also serves a guideline helping not to loose control over the allocated time. The thesis consists of 5 tasks (See [1] fo...

Code Clones: Reconsidering Terminology

This report discusses terminology choices and considerations relating to copied or redundant code within software systems, i.e., relating to “code clones.” Inadequacies of existing terminology are raised and alternative terms are discussed.

Detecting Code Clones: A review

Code clone detection is involved with detecting duplicated fragments of code within a code base. Detecting these clones is useful for maintenance operations which require editing the clones. The tools developed are expected to be robust enough to identify clones even when they have been modified, whilst preserving reasonable recall and precision rates. It is also expected that these tools be ea...
