Code clones are exactly or nearly similar code fragments in the code-base of a software
system. Existing studies show that clones are directly related to bugs and inconsistencies in …

Code clones are serious code smells. To investigate bug-proneness of clones as opposed
to clone-free source code, earlier attempts have studied the stability of code clones and their …

Mobile applications (apps) developers often reuse code from existing libraries and
frameworks in order to reduce development costs. However, these libraries and frameworks …

Code clones are prevalent in software systems due to many factors in software
development. Detecting code clones and managing consistency between them along code …

The'clone and own'approach to software product lines assumes that variants are created by
cloning and evolve more or less independently afterwards. In this paper, we describe a …

Code clones, being an inevitable by-product of rapid software development, can impact
software quality. The introduction of code clone groups and clone genealogies enable …
