Refactoring and smells have been well researched by the software-engineering research
community these past decades. Several secondary studies have been published on code …

CONTEXT: Reusing software by means of copy and paste is a frequent activity in software
development. The duplicated code is known as a software clone and the activity is known as …

Copying and pasting of source code is a common activity in software engineering. Often, the
code is not copied as it is and it may be modified for various purposes; eg refactoring, bug …

Bad smells are sub-optimal code structures that may represent problems needing attention.
We conduct an extensive literature review on bad smells relying on a large body of …

Duplicated code or code clones are a kind of code smell that have both positive and
negative impacts on the development and maintenance of software systems. Software clone …

In recent years, attacks targeting web browsers and their plugins have become a prevalent
threat. Attackers deploy web pages that contain exploit code, typically written in HTML and …

Context: Research related to code clones includes detection of clones in software systems,
analysis, visualization and management of clones. Detection of semantic clones and …

Depicting change captured by dynamic graphs and temporal paths, or trails, is hard. We
present two techniques for simplified visualization of such data sets using edge bundles …

Code smell is an indication of a software designing problem. The presence of code smells
can have a severe impact on the software quality. Smells basically refers to the structure of …

This systematic literature review paper investigates the key techniques employed to identify
smells in different paradigms of software engineering from object‐oriented (OO) to service …
