DuploQ

Software development can be not only a rewarding task, but also time-consuming and frustrating at times.

To cut down on the wasted time, you can rely on apps like DuploQ to automate some of the actions, such as looking for duplicate code in your source code files.

DuploQ builds on the functionality of Duplo, so you can easily look for duplicate blocks of code within your files. This way, your product is not only stable, but its source code also looks cleaner and easier to manage for the future releases.

You can start by setting up a project or you can examine individual files and folders.

In order to make sure the results match your necessities, you can filter the files according to the programming language they use: C/C++, Qt/C++, C#, Java and Javascript.

This way, you can easily add entire folders to be analyzed, then review only a certain batch at a time.

DuploQ offers you the possibility to narrow the scope the duplicate checking process, to ensure it does not spend too much time on irrelevant lines.

As such, you can set the app to ignore lines shorter than a user-specified number of symbols or ignore blocks shorter than a certain number of lines.

You can make these adjustments even after you already looked for dupes once and realized you get a lot of false positives.

When you get the results, you can choose the type of view you are interested in: file-based, side-by-side or block-based.

DuploQ can help you look for duplicate blocks of code in your selected source code files, without a lot of effort or hassle.
