Clone Detector Use Questions: A List of Desirable Empirical Studies

Authors: Thomas R. Dean, Massamiliano Di Penta, Kostas Kontogiannis, and Andrew Walenstein

Abstract

Code "clones" are similar segments of code that are frequently introduced by "scavenging" existing code, that is, reusing code by copying it and adapting it for a new use. In order to scavenge the code, the developer must be aware of it already, or must find it. Little is known about how tools - particularly search tools - impact the clone construction process, nor how developers use them for this purpose. This paper lists five outstanding research questions in this area and proposes sketches of designs for five empirical studies that might be conducted to help shed light on those questions.

Managing Known Clones: Issues and Open Questions

Authors: Kostas Kontogiannis

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6301, Duplication, Redundancy, and Similarity in Software (2007)

Abstract

Many software systems contained cloned code, i.e., segments of code that are highly similar to each other, typically because one has been copied from the other, and then possibly modified. In some contexts, clones are of interest because they are targets for refactoring. This paper summarizes the results of a working session in which the problems of merely managing clones that are already known to exist. Six key issues in the space are briefly reviewed, and open questions raised in the working session are listed.
