Abstract

Over the past few decades, many tools and methods have been proposed by several researchers to detect clones automatically in programs and software. Nevertheless, it is not yet clear how to evaluate these tools in terms of accuracy, scalability, and portability. However, all of these tools have some merits and limitations but the application of these tools depends on the user requirements, so it is necessary for the user that they should be aware of the tools and its distinguishing aspects. This article presents the performance of six clone detection tools in terms of accuracy, scalability, and portability. The aim of this study is to make the selection of tools easy for detection of copied code.
