Clone maintenance through analysis and refactoring

Robert Tairas

Abstract

The removal of duplicate code associated with code clones provides a mechanism to improve code clone maintenance by eliminating redundant code and reducing the amount of code that needs to be maintained. The research described in this paper contributes to the field of code clone maintenance by exploring techniques that determine novel factors influencing code clone analysis and refactoring, and by developing a process that unifies the phases of code clone detection, analysis, and refactoring.
