On the reliability of coverage-based fuzzer benchmarking
Given a program where none of our fuzzers finds any bugs, how do we know which fuzzer is
better? In practice, we often look to code coverage as a proxy measure of fuzzer …

An empirical study on mutation, statement and branch coverage fault revelation that avoids the unreliable clean program assumption
Many studies suggest using coverage concepts, such as branch coverage, as the starting
point of testing, while others as the most prominent test quality indicator. Yet the relationship …

Are mutation scores correlated with real fault detection? a large scale empirical study on the relationship between mutants and real faults
Empirical validation of software testing studies is increasingly relying on mutants. This
practice is motivated by the strong correlation between mutant scores and real fault …

Threats to the validity of mutation-based test assessment
Much research on software testing and test techniques relies on experimental studies based
on mutation testing. In this paper we reveal that such studies are vulnerable to a potential …

Regression test case prioritization by code combinations coverage
Regression test case prioritization (RTCP) aims to improve the rate of fault detection by
executing more important test cases as early as possible. Various RTCP techniques have …

How different is it between machine-generated and developer-provided patches?: An empirical study on the correct patches generated by automated program repair …
Background: Over the years, Automated Program Repair (APR) has attracted much attention
from both academia and industry since it can reduce the costs in fixing bugs. However, how …

Can testedness be effectively measured?
Among the major questions that a practicing tester faces are deciding where to focus
additional testing effort, and deciding when to stop testing. Test the least-tested code, and …
