Context: Code smells are symptoms of wrong design decisions or coding shortcuts that may
increase defect rate and decrease maintainability. Research on code smells is accelerating …

Context Code smells in the software systems are indications that usually correspond to
deeper problems that can negatively influence software quality characteristics. This review is …

Software clone detection techniques identify fragments of code that share some level of
syntactic similarity. In this study, we investigate security-sensitive clone clusters: clusters of …
