Determining source code repetitiveness on various types of programming assignments

Abstract

Software projects code duplication and plagiarism are very important in various test cases. The purpose of the work presented in this paper is to observe how various software architectures, project structures, and coding approaches generate different views on code changes. In this paper, code plagiarism -code comparing, in different types of projects has been analyzed through two different approaches. Pythonscript based on the sequence matcher function and the GitLab compare tool are analyzed and compared.Results are presented and discussed in the paper.
