Mutation testing research has indicated that a major part of its application cost is due to the
large number of low utility mutants that it introduces. Although previous research has …

First-order mutants (FOMs) have been widely used in mutation-based fault localization
(MBFL) approaches and have achieved promising results in single-fault localization …

Fuzzing is one of the fastest growing fields in software testing. The idea behind fuzzing is to
check the behavior of software against a large number of randomly generated inputs, trying …

The agile model is the present reality for any software development process. Its main
objective is to produce good quality software in optimal time. Programmers do unit testing to …

Mutation analysis can provide valuable insights into both the system under test and its test
suite. However, it is not scalable due to the cost of building and testing a large number of …

Program repair is an integral part of every software system's life-cycle but can be extremely
challenging. To date, various automated program repair (APR) techniques have been …

Mutation-Based Fault Localization (MBFL) is one of the most widely studied techniques.
MBFL adopts mutation analysis to generate mutants for revealing potential faults in the …

Software fault injection techniques have been largely used as means for evaluating the
dependability of systems in presence of certain types of faults. Despite the large diversity of …

Mutation analysis is a program analysis method with applications in assessing the quality of
test cases, fault localization, test input generation, security analysis, etc. The method …

We present MASS, a mutation analysis tool for embedded software in cyber-physical
systems (CPS). We target space CPS (eg, satellites) and other CPS with similar …
