Online Seminar | Bad Smell #1: The Science on Duplicated Code

Fowler and Beck have ranked duplicated code as the number one on their famous stink parade of bad smells, yet without providing any empirical evidence. Interestingly, duplicated code is also the most well investigated type of bad smell in research.

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Rainer Koschke has summarized the scientific body of knowledge on the reasons, effects, and characteristics of duplicated (and possibly adjusted) code in this Axivion online seminar. Various techniques will be presented on how duplicated code can be detected along with their strengths and weaknesses. He also dives into ways on how to deal with duplicated code.
