Title
Applying clone change notification system into an industrial development process
Abstract
Programmers tend to write code clones unintentionally even in the case that they can easily avoid them. Clone change management is one of crucial issues in open source software (OSS) development as well as in industrial software development (e.g., development of social infrastructure, financial system, and medical equipment). When an industrial developer fixes a defect, he/she has to find the code clones corresponding to the code fragment including it. So far, several studies performed on the analysis of clone evolution in OSS. However, to our knowledge, a few researches have been reported on an application of a clone change notification system to industrial development process. In this paper, we introduce a system for notifying creation and change of code clones, and then report on the experience with 40-days application of it into a development process in NEC Corporation. In the industrial application, a developer successfully identified ten unintentionally-developed clones that should be refactored.
