Long patch validation time is a limiting factor for automated program repair (APR). Though
the duality between patch validation and mutation testing is recognized, so far there exists …

Recently, several approaches have been proposed for decomposing deep neural network
(DNN) classifiers into binary classifier modules to facilitate modular development and repair …

The prolonged continuous integration (CI) runs are affecting timely feedback to software
developers. Test-case prioritization (TCP) aims to expose faults sooner by reordering tests …

Mutation testing is the state‐of‐the‐art technique for assessing the fault detection capacity of
a test suite. Unfortunately, a full mutation analysis is often prohibitively expensive. The …

The question of how to generate high-utility mutations, to be used for testing purposes, forms
a key challenge in mutation testing literature.% Existing approaches rely either on human …

Fault localization is a complex, costly and time‐consuming task in software debugging.
Numerous automated techniques have been developed to expedite this process. Mutation …

Mutation testing is a powerful fault-based testing technique, which can be used to evaluate
the quality of a test suite for a specific program. This is done by injecting faults into the …

Fault localization is an expensive phase of software debugging processes. Although
Mutation-based Fault Localization (MBFL) is a promising technique, its computational cost …
