  • On the limits of mutation analysis

    Creator:
    Gopinath, Rahul
    Abstract:
    Mutation analysis is the gold standard for evaluating test-suite adequacy. It involves exhaustive seeding of all small faults in a program and evaluating the effectiveness of test suites in detecting these faults. Mutation analysis subsumes numerous structural coverage criteria, approximates fault detection capability of test suites, and the faults produced...
