Manu Singh, Vidushi Sharma . Detection of Behavioural Clone. International Journal of Computer Applications. 102, 14 ( September 2014), 41-45. DOI=10.5120/17886-8859
High level cloning in a system is the aggregation of four classes of high level similarities these four classes are behavioural Clones, concept clones, structural clones and domain model clones. Behavioural clones are used to depict similar run time behavior. This paper presents a method for the detection of behavioural clone. The proposed system detects behavioural type of higher level clones in two file of same or different directories. This is done with the help of clone detection tool designed in DOT NET. The work is implemented as a generalized tool which accepts different programming language as input and the existence of clone can be detected across the source code of different languages. The main distinctive feature of the proposed methodology is the use of command prompt to determine runtime behaviour of cloned code.
