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

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 is a fault-based software testing technique that has been widely studied for
over three decades. The literature on Mutation Testing has contributed a set of approaches …

This extensively classroom-tested text takes an innovative approach to explaining software
testing that defines it as the process of applying a few precise, general-purpose criteria to a …

Context The field of mutation analysis has been growing, both in the number of published
papers and the number of active researchers. This special issue provides a sampling of …

Software bugs remain a compelling problem. Automated program repair is a promising
approach for reducing cost, and many methods have recently demonstrated positive results …

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 …

The injection of software faults in software components to assess the impact of these faults
on other components or on the system as a whole, allowing the evaluation of fault tolerance …

In today's scenario any multiuser system need to implement access control for protecting its
resources from unauthorized access or damage. With the help of separate policy …

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