Abstract
Clone detector results can be better understood with tools that support visualization and facilitate in-depth analysis. In this tool demo paper we present VisCad, a comprehensive code clone analysis and visualization tool that provides such support for the near-miss hybrid clone detection tool, NiCad. Through carefully selectedmetrics and visualization techniques VisCad can guide users to explore the cloning of a system from different perspectives.
