Abstract
A cluster interface is generated which represents similarities of semantics between segments of code with respect to both the physical constructs of the code and the underlying operations performed by the code. The generated interface represents one or more code segments. Code segments to be analyzed are received by a computer system. Statistical internal information is extracted from each code segment. An external metric is generated which is based on the extracted statistical information. An interface display is created from the external metric which represents similarity relationships between the inputted code segments based on the extracted statistical information.
