Revealing Missing Bug-Fixes in Code Clones in Large-Scale Code Bases
2013
Electronic Communications of the EASST
When a bug is fixed in duplicated code, it is often necessary to modify all duplicates (so-called clones) accordingly. In practice, however, fixes are often incomplete, which causes the bug to remain in one or more of the clones. This paper presents an approach that detects such incomplete bug-fixes in cloned code by analyzing a system's version history to reveal those commits that fix problems. The approach then performs incremental clone detection to reveal those clones that became
