Mutation testing is a significant software testing approach that identifies the faults present in
the source codes and the potentiality of the test cases in detecting the mutated codes. In this …

Software product line (SPL) engineering allows the derivation of products tailored to
stakeholders' needs through the setting of a large number of configuration options …

In practice, organizations often rely on the clone-and-own approach to reuse and customize
existing systems. While increasing maintenance costs encourage some organizations to …

Equivalent mutants are a major nuisance in mutation testing because they introduce a
significant amount of bias. But weeding them out is difficult because it requires a detailed …

Mutation testing is a technique that injects artificial faults to check whether the existing test
suite can detect them. To inject the faults, mutation testing tools rely on mutation operators …

Equivalent mutants are a constant source of aggravation in mutation testing because they
distort mutation-based analysis; but the identification of equivalent mutants is known to be …

Recent research on quality assurance (QA) of configurable software systems (eg, software
product lines) proposes different analysis strategies to cope with the inherent complexity …

Mutation testing is the art of generating syntactic versions (called mutants) of a base
program, and is widely used in software testing, most notably the assessment of test suites …

Mutation testing is an approach to assess the quality of test cases. Mutants are modified
versions of a system that ideally compose faulty behaviour. Test cases for a system are …

Mutation testing analyzes test suites to verify their capability to detect artificially injected
faults. Mutation testing tools rely on mutation operators to simulate those faults by modifying …
