Background: Software security has drawn immense importance in the recent years. While efforts are expected in minimizing security vulnerabilities in source code, the developers' practice of code cloning often causes multiplication of such vulnerabilities and program faults. Although previous studies examined the bug-proneness, stability, and changeability of clones against non-cloned code, the security...
Clone analysis and visualization help in understanding characteristics of clones and indicate potential clones as cost-effective candidates for refactoring. Many studies have analyzed clones and their evolution while a number of techniques have also been proposed for visualizing clones for aiding clone analysis. However, clone analyses and visualizations with respect to inheritance hierarchy and call...
Duplicated code, also known as code clones, are one of the malicious âcode smells' that often need to be removed through refactoring for enhancing maintainability. Among all the potential refactoring opportunities, the choice and order of a set of refactoring activities may have distinguishable effect on the design/code quality. Moreover, there may be dependencies and conflicts among those refactorings...
