An Empirical Study on Inconsistent Changes to Code Clones at Release Level

July 22, 2009

Abstract – Current research on code clones tries to address the question whether or not code clones are harmful for the quality of software. As most of these studies are based on the fine-grained analysis of inconsistent changes at the revision level, they capture much of the chaotic and experimental [...]

An Empirical Study on the Risk of Using Off-the-Shelf Techniques for Processing Mailing List Data

July 3, 2009

Abstract – Mailing list repositories contain valuable information about the history of a project. Research is starting to mine this information to support developers and maintainers of long-lived software projects. However, such information exists as unstructured data that needs special processing before it can be studied. In this paper, we [...]
