Clone Detection

Pattern Insight Clone Detection

Identify Cloned Code and Reduce Defects

Pattern Insight Clone Detection is an advanced analysis engine that quickly detects duplicate patterns within code and allows you to find code clones and difficult-to-detect copy-paste bugs. Code reuse is a standard practice in modern software development. The downside of code reuse via replication and copy-paste programming is that it leads to code bloat, increasing the technical depth of software products and making maintenance costly and time consuming.

Developers often copy a section of code, modify it and then paste. This can often lead to inconsistencies being introduced into the code which are difficult and costly to detect.
