Mutation testing realizes the idea of using artificial defects to support testing activities.
Mutation is typically used as a way to evaluate the adequacy of test suites, to guide the …

Mutation testing exploits artificial faults to measure the adequacy of test suites and guide
their improvement. It has become an extremely popular testing technique as evidenced by …

Mutation testing is a fault based testing technique which examines the adequacy of test
cases by generating faulty programs, called mutants, to be run against them. However, one …

Mutation analysis assesses a test suite's adequacy by measuring its ability to detect small
artificial faults, systematically seeded into the tested program. Mutation analysis is …

Mutation Testing is a fault-based software testing technique that has been widely studied for
over three decades. The literature on Mutation Testing has contributed a set of approaches …

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 …

Historically, researchers have proposed and applied many techniques to reduce the cost of
mutation testing. It has become difficult to find all techniques and to understand the cost …
