Paper Summary

The article investigates how to find unnecessary code in software systems using a static analysis approach based on code stability and centrality. By studying 14 software systems, the researchers found that this method can accurately identify unnecessary code. This means that static analysis can quickly pinpoint code that is no longer needed, saving time and resources during development and maintenance.
