Mutation Analysis Using Mutant Schemata
Mutation analysis is a powerful technique for assessing and improving the quality of test data used to unit test software. Unfortunately, current automated mutation analysis syste...

Mutation Selection: Some Could be Better than All
In previous research, many mutation selection techniques have been proposed to reduce the cost of mutation analysis. After a mutant subset is selected, researchers could obtain a t...

Is operator-based mutant selection superior to random mutant selection?
Due to the expensiveness of compiling and executing a large number of mutants, it is usually necessary to select a subset of mutants to substitute the whole set of generated mutan...

Sufficient mutation operators for measuring test effectiveness
Mutants are automatically-generated, possibly faulty variants of programs. The mutation adequacy ratio of a test suite is the ratio of non-equivalent mutants it is able to identif...

(Un-)Covering Equivalent Mutants
—Mutation testing measures the adequacy of a test suite by seeding artificial defects (mutations) into a program. If a test suite fails to detect a mutation, it may also fail to...
