Appropriate reliance on code clones significantly reduces development costs and hastens
the development process. Reckless cloning, in contrast, reduces code quality and ultimately …

We consider the problem of identifying the provenance of free/open source software (FOSS)
and specifically the need of identifying where reused source code has been copied from. We …

The emergence and the progress in the process of reusing the software's, has caused
difficulties in the maintaining the software codes and the corresponding depositories …

Microservice Architecture (MSA) is becoming a design standard for modern cloud-based
software systems. However, even though cloud-based applications have been thoroughly …

Given two programs, say P and Q, a differentiator is a test suite T such that execution of P
and Q on T produces different outcomes; this concept is used in mutation testing, where it is …

It is generally accepted in Software Engineering that code clones–often the result of copy-
and-paste of existing code–result in poorer maintainability of software systems …

Despite the approaches proposed so far, software plagiarism is still a problem which has not
been solved entirely yet. The approach introduced throughout this paper is about a source …

Les représentations du code apprises par les modèles d'apprentissage profond sont une
composante cruciale pour certaines applications en génie logiciel telles que la recherche de …

Mutation testing has become a prominent research area in the past few decades. The
mutation testing has been basically used in the testing society. It is a type of software testing …

This paper presents explanation about effects on software quality due to code clone. Code
clones are a main source of software defects. Code clones are the replicated code which …
