Genetic algorithm based approach for code clone detection

One of the testing methods is clone testing. It is used to check for software duplication. Software developers create software to save time and effort. Repeatedly copy and paste computer code Therefore, any bug that is detected in one module will appear in all copies. There are numerous copies of the code present, but there is no documentation of such copies. This will make maintaining existing software and fixing such vulnerabilities difficult. One of the elements making software maintenance more challenging is code cloning. In this research work genetic algorithm is applied for the code clone detection. The proposed model is implemented in MATLAB. The results of the proposed is analyzed in terms of match detection.
