Historically, researchers have proposed and applied many techniques to reduce the cost of
mutation testing. It has become difficult to find all techniques and to understand the cost …

Mutation testing realizes the idea of using artificial defects to support testing activities.
Mutation is typically used as a way to evaluate the adequacy of test suites, to guide the …

Coverage-based fault localization has been extensively studied in the literature due to its
effectiveness and lightweightness for real-world systems. However, existing techniques …

Mutation testing is a powerful methodology for evaluating test suite quality. In mutation
testing, a large number of mutants are generated and executed against the test suite to …

Identifying equivalent mutants remains the largest impediment to the widespread uptake of
mutation testing. Despite being researched for more than three decades, the problem …

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. Techniques …

In recent years, researchers have intensively investigated various topics in test prioritization,
which aims to re-order tests to increase the rate of fault detection during regression testing …

Mutation testing realises the idea of fault-based testing, ie, using artificial defects to guide
the testing process. It is used to evaluate the adequacy of test suites and to guide test case …

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 …

Regression testing is an important activity but can get expensive for large test suites. Test-
suite reduction speeds up regression testing by identifying and removing redundant tests …
