Using Program Slicing to Detect the Dead Code

Program code may have useless statements of code. These useless statements called dead code. The dead code affects the code quality negatively. In this research, a new model has been introduced to identify the dead code in a program and remove it. The decomposition slicing technique is used to identify the live code, and refactoring techniques can also help in tide up the code design. As a result, the proposed model succeed to remove the dead code of a program. However, still need some extra work to increase the accuracy of identifying the live code.
