Software Clone Detection and Refactoring
Francesca Arcelli Fontana, Marco Zanoni, Andrea Ranchetti, Davide Ranchetti · ISRN Software Engineering · 2013
Several studies have been proposed in the literature on software clones from different points of view and covering many correlated features and areas, which are particularly relevant to software maintenance and evolution. In this paper, we describe our experience on clone detection through three different tools and investigate the impact of clone refactoring on different software quality metrics.
