Mutation testing is vital for ensuring software quality. However, the presence of equivalent
mutants is known to introduce redundant cost and bias issues, hindering the effectiveness of …

Ubiquitous learning enables software analysts to acquire knowledge and design test oracles
from online resources including developer documentations, forums and collaborative …

Mutation testing is a testing technique that is effective at designing tests and evaluating an
existing test suite. Even though mutation testing has been developed to be applicable and …

Software and symmetric testing methodologies are primarily used in detecting software
defects, but these testing methodologies need to be optimized to mitigate the wasting of …

Context: Mutation testing is a powerful method used in software testing for various activities,
such as guidance for test case generation and test suite quality assessment. However, a …

Continuous integration in software development requires to run the tests on a regular basis
to ensure that the code does not regress. So that the execution time of the regression test …

The equivalent mutants problem is one of the crucial problems in mutation testing. In
consequence of its existence, the effectiveness of mutation testing is underestimated. In …

Mutation testing aims to ensure that a test suite is capable of detecting real faults, by
checking whether they can reveal (ie, kill) small and arbitrary lexical changes made to the …

Mutation testing is devised for measuring test suite adequacy by identifying the artificially
induced faults in software. This paper presents a novel approach by considering …

Mutation testing consists of evaluating how effective test suites are at detecting artificially
seeded defects in the source code, and guiding the improvement of the test suites. Although …
