Abstract

It is a recommended practice to use overloaded methods in a class for a group of similar operations and functions. However, it is possible that software developers may violate the rule of overloaded methods. In addition, non-overloaded method is used incorrectly sometimes in composing similar functions. This paper presents a technique, using isomorphic graphs, to identify structural similarity between class methods.
