Abstract

Code clone is one of the factors that makes software maintenance more difficult. Once a developer find a defect in a code fragment, he/she has to inspect the all of the code clones of the code fragment. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of query-based use of a vector-based clone detection tool for supporting simultaneous fixing of buggy clones in source code and compared it with the query-based use of a token-based clone detection tool CCFinder.
