Code Clone Analysis Environment for Supporting Software Development and Maintenance
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is generally said that code clones are one of the factors to make software maintenace difficult. They are pairs or sets of code portions in source files that are identical or similar to each other. If some bugs are found in a code portion, it is nessesary to correct them in its all clones. However, in large-scale sofrware, it is very difficult to find all clones by hand. In this paper, we develop a code clone analysis environment, Gemini, that uses a clone detection tool, CCFinder. Also, we conduct a case study for the evaluation.

Refactoring Support Based on Code Clone Analysis
Software maintenance is the most expensive activity in software development. Many software companies spent a large amount of cost to maintain the existing software systems. In perfective maintenance, refactoring has often been applied to the software to improve the understandability and complexity. One of the targets of refactoring is code clone. A code clone is a code fragment in a source code...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Characteristics of Merged Code Clones during Software Evolution
Although code clones (i.e. code fragments that have similar or identical code fragments in the source code) are regarded as a factor that increases the complexity of software maintenance, tools for supporting clone refactoring (i.e. merging a set of code clones into a single method or function) are not commonly used. To promote the development of refactoring tools that can be more widely utiliz...
متن کاملCode Clone Analysis Environment for Software Maintenance
Recently, code clone has been regarded as one of factors that make software maintenance more difficult. A code clone is a code fragment in a source code that is identical or similar to another. For example, if we modify a code fragment which has code clones, it is necessary to consider whether we have to modify each of its code clones. There are two ways of maintenance support for code clones. ...

Maintaining software systems is getting more complex and difficult task, as the scale becomes larger. It is generally said that code clone is one of the factors that make software maintenance difficult. A code clone is a code portion in source files that is identical or similar to another. If some faults are found in a code clone, it is necessary to correct the faults in its all code clones. Ho...
