Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Evolution continues to play an ever-increasing role in software engineering. Although changing a program is the core of software evolution, program change patterns have not been considered as a first class entity in most classic studies of software evolution. Past empirical studies of software evolution primarily relied on quantitative and statistical analyses of a program over time, but did not focus on semantic and qualitative change patterns of a program.  hypothesize that by treating change patterns as first class entities  can better understand software evolution and also aid programmers in changing software. Our goal is to infer clone evolution patterns from a set of program versions stored in a source code repository.  defined a set of common clone evolution patterns based on our insights from the copy and paste study.
