Trivial compiler equivalence: A large scale empirical study of a simple, fast and effective equivalent mutant detection technique
Identifying equivalent mutants remains the largest impediment to the widespread uptake of
mutation testing. Despite being researched for more than three decades, the problem …

To be optimal or not in test-case prioritization
Software testing aims to assure the quality of software under test. To improve the efficiency
of software testing, especially regression testing, test-case prioritization is proposed to …

Comparing and combining test-suite reduction and regression test selection
Regression testing is widely used to check that changes made to software do not break
existing functionality, but regression test suites grow, and running them fully can become …

Mutation-based test-case prioritization in software evolution
During software evolution, to assure the software quality, test cases for an early version tend
to be reused by its latter versions. As a large number of test cases may aggregate during …

Faster mutation-based fault localization with a novel mutation execution strategy
P Gong, R Zhao, Z Li - 2015 IEEE Eighth International …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Checking program entities for finding faults is extremely tedious for developers. Fault
localization techniques are designed to give a rank list of the probability that program …

[PDF][PDF] When tests collide: Evaluating and coping with the impact of test dependence
W Lam, S Zhang, MD Ernst - University of Washington …, 2015 - homes.cs.washington.edu
In a test suite, all the test cases should be independent: no test should affect any other test's
result, and running the tests in any order should produce the same test results. The …

Scalability studies on selective mutation testing
J Zhang - 2015 IEEE/ACM 37th IEEE International Conference …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Mutation testing is a test method which is designed to evaluate a test suite's quality. Due to
the expensive cost of mutation testing, selective mutation testing was first proposed in 1991 …
