Abstract. We discuss the challenges faced by bytecode analyzers designed for code verification compared to similar analyzers for source code. While a bytecode-level analysis brings...
This paper presents a study on the stability of cloned code. The results from an analysis of 200 weeks of evolution of five software system show that the stability as measured by...
Existing researches suggest that the code clone (duplicated code) is one of the factors that degrades the design and the structure of software and lowers the software quality such...
