Smelling out Code Clones: Clone Detection Tool Evaluation and Corresponding Challenges
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Software clones have been an active area of research for the past two decades. However, although numerous clone detection tools are now available, only a small fraction of the literature has focused on tool evaluation, and this is in fact still an open problem. This is mostly due to the fact that standard information retrieval metrics such as recall and precision require a priori knowledge of clones already in the system. Detection tools also typically have a large number of parameters which
