Abstract
Software development is rarely a solo coding effort. More often, it is a collaborative process, with teams of developers working together to design solutions and produce quality code. The members of these close-knit teams often look at one another’s code, collectively make plans about how to proceed, and even fix each other’s bugs when necessary. Teamwork does not stop there, however. An extended team may include project managers, testers, architects, designers, writers, and other specialists, as well as other programming teams. Programmers also interact with the community of developers outside their organization to obtain advice, code snippets, and a general understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

Managing the copy-and-paste programming practice in modern IDEs
OOPSLA '07: Companion to the 22nd ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming systems and applications companionCopy-and-paste is a common practice in industrial software development and maintenance, which results in code clones. Prior research has focused on automatically detecting and analyzing code clones from legacy systems and on eliminating clones. We ...
