Mutation testing is a powerful, but computationally expensive, technique for unit testing
software. This expense has prevented mutation from becoming widely used in practical …

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 …

Several module and class testing techniques have been applied to object‐oriented (OO)
programs, but researchers have only recently begun develo** test criteria that evaluate …

This paper introduces a new paradigm for Mutation Testing, which we call Higher Order
Mutation Testing (HOM Testing). Traditional Mutation Testing considers only first order …

Mutation analysis generates tests that distinguish variations, or mutants, of an artifact from
the original. Mutation analysis is widely considered to be a powerful approach to testing, and …

The need for test adequacy criteria is widely recognized. Several criteria have been
proposed for the assessment of adequacy of tests at the unit level. However, there remains a …

O primeiro objetivo deste livro é servir como livro-texto para disciplinas de cursos

Mutation testing offers concrete test goals (mutants) and a rigorous test efficacy criterion, but
it is expensive due to vast numbers of mutants, many of which are neither useful nor …

To increase confidence in the correctness of specified policies, policy developers can
conduct policy testing by supplying typical test inputs (requests) and subsequently checking …

Context: Due to the widespread use of Android devices, Android applications (apps) have
more releases, purchases, and downloads than apps for any other mobile devices. The …
