Abstract :
We present SolidSDD, an integrated tool for the extraction and visual analysis of code clones. SolidSDD aims to simplify and speed up the entire process of clone extraction from code bases written in C, C++, Java, and C#, and visual analysis of the extracted results. To this end, we combine several scalable visualization techniques such as hierarchical edge bundles, table lenses, annotated text views, and linked views. We demonstrate SolidSDD for both fine-grained clone analysis and aggregated report production tasks on several large-scale code bases.
