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:

Short variable names may make your code harder to understand. Variable names should be self-descriptive. This check looks for variable names who are shorter than a configured minimum.
