Abstract
A user interface (UI)-level clone detection method, system, and computer program product, include running applications from an application database to obtain a screenshot of each of the applications, comparing a first object of a first screenshot of a first application with a second object from a second screenshot of a second application to determine a similarity between the first object and the second object, and analyzing a code for each of the first object and the second object when the similarity is greater than a predetermined threshold value to identify a same-functionality code.
