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 …

Mutation testing exploits artificial faults to measure the adequacy of test suites and guide
their improvement. It has become an extremely popular testing technique as evidenced by …

How do Java mutation tools differ? Page 1 DOI:10.1145/3526099 A framework for aiding future
Java mutation tool comparisons. BY DOMENICO AMALFITANO, ANA CR PAIVA, ALEXIS …

Mutation testing drives the creation and improvement of test cases by evaluating their ability
to identify synthetic faults. Over the past decades, the technique has gained popularity in …

Redundant mutants might cause problems when benchmarking since testing techniques
can get high scores without detecting any nonredundant mutants. However, removing …

The effectiveness of mutation testing relies on the mutants that are used. However, mutant
generation is time-consuming and unwieldy to carry out manually mainly because of the vast …

Software testing is no longer merely a passing fad in software development models. Unit
testing, which enables programmers to test each component separately, is one of the most …

With the increasing amount of automated tests, we need ways to measure the test
effectiveness. The state-of-the-art technique for assessing test effectiveness, mutation …

In mutation testing, variants (ie, mutants) of the software under test are created. The mutants
are then used to design tests that can detect the difference between the mutants and the …
