Higher accuracy and lower run time: efficient mutation analysis using non‐redundant mutation operators
R Just, F Schweiggert - Software Testing, Verification and …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Mutation analysis is a powerful but computationally expensive method to measure the
effectiveness of a testing or debugging technique. The high cost is due, in part, to redundant …
