A method of analyzing a plurality of code segments to determine the similar static and dynamic features of the code segments compares the static anddynamic features of each of the code segments. Each code segment is comprised ofone or more lines of program instructions. One or more predetermined static attributes are extracted from each code segment. Each code segment is then run so that the dynamic attributes of the code segment can be determined. The dynamic attributes are extracted from each code segment and a distrance function is computed which is based on the extracted static and dynamic attributes for a given pair of code segments. The distance function produces a distance measurement which indicates the relative degree of similarity between the given pair of code segments.
