Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:

This check looks for methods that are used by a trait but not required by it.
To illustrate, let’s look at the following code example
The trait
Idableprovides a methodequalsIdthat in turn relies on the methodgetId(). If this method does not exist on a class mixing in this trait, the method will fail.Adding the
getId()as an abstract method to the trait will make sure it is available.
