Target projects

Siderscan is especially effective on projects that are large, long-term, and/or involve engineers of varying skill levels.

10+ developers

When you modify duplicate code, not only the target code but also other duplicate code blocks must be searched without omission, and determine if the same modification must be applied or not.
In projects with many developers, the person who created duplicate code is often different from the person who modifies it, which increases the risk of correction errors.

1+ year development period

The DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principle is an important principle for maintaining software quality, which states that "duplicate information with the same meaning or function in multiple places should be avoided as much as possible. In practice, however, there are situations in which the DRY principle is not followed during the development process, and duplicate code tends to increase gradually.
After a certain number of years of development, managing duplicate code becomes beyond human control.

Skill gaps among members

Differences in member skills also have a significant impact on software quality. Large-scale projects involve a variety of developers with different backgrounds, including juniors, outsourcing engineers, and offshore engineers, resulting in differences in skill levels.
In such projects, code duplication tends to occur frequently. Debugging problems caused by duplication are very difficult to fix and can be a potential risk to the project.
