CodeSuite-LT
CodeSuite-LT® is a less expensive, limited
version of the full CodeSuite tool. Each tool in the suite
produces a readable report that can be used to find copying.
The main tools that comprise this suite of tools are described
below.
BitMatch
compares thousands of executable binary files in multiple
directories and subdirectories to thousands of other
executable binary files or source code files in order
to determine which files are the most highly correlated.
BitMatch is particularly useful for finding programs
that have been copied, but where you only have access
to the program executable binary files and not the source
code.
CodeCross
cross-compares statements in one set of files to comments
in the other set of files, and vice versa, in order
to find code that has been commented out. CodeCross
finds areas of source code that were used as guides
to develop other source code; it finds signs of copying
that CodeMatch can miss.
CodeDiff
compares thousands of source code files in multiple
directories and subdirectories to find files that are
exact matches or nearly exact matches. CodeDiff looks
for identical lines in pairs of source code files. While
not as sophisticated or as accurate as CodeMatch, CodeDiff
runs much faster. CodeDiff is particularly useful for
comparing files where it is already known that many
of the files are nearly identical. CodeDiff can be run
as a precursor to running CodeMatch when attempting
to find source code plagiarism.
CodeMatch
compares thousands of source code files in multiple
directories and subdirectories to determine which files
are the most highly correlated. This can be used to
significantly speed up the work of finding source code
plagiarism, because it can direct the examiner to look
closely at a small amount of code in a handful of files
rather than thousands of combinations. CodeMatch is
also useful for finding open source code within proprietary
code, determining common authorship of two different
programs, and discovering common, standard algorithms
within different programs.
SourceDetective
considers each statement, comment, and identifier in
common between two code bases and searches the Internet
for references to each one. Any element found on the
Internet is considered to be uninteresting and is filtered
from the report leaving only those elements found in
both code bases but nowhere else. SourceDetective must
be used in conjunction with one of the other tools.
