Regression testing is an important activity in the software life cycle, but it can also be very
expensive. To reduce the cost of regression testing, software testers may prioritize their test …

This paper presents results from empirical studies of object-oriented, class level mutation
operators, using the automated analysis and testing tool MuJava. Class mutation operators …

The mutation technique inserts faults in a program under test in order to assess or generate
test cases, or evaluate the reliability of the program. Faults introduced into the source code …

Traditional testing techniques are not adequate for web-based applications, since they miss
their additional features such as their multi-tier nature, hyperlink-based structure, and event …

The effectiveness of mutation testing depends heavily on the types of faults that the mutation
operators are designed to represent. Thus, the quality of the mutation operators is key to …

Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) components provide a means to construct software
(component-based) systems in reduced time and cost. In a COTS component software …

Mutation Testing originated from a classical method for digital circuit testing and today is
used at program and specification levels. It can be used either to generate or to assess the …

O teste de software tem se mostrado importante para reduzir a quantidade de defeitos
presentes nos produtos, atraindo o interesse tanto da academia quanto da indústria. À …

As exigências por software com maior qualidade têm motivado a definição de métodos e
