Predictive Mutation Testing

Abstract: Abstract-Test suites play a key role in ensuring software quality. A good test suite may detect more faults than a poor-quality one. Mutation testing is a powerful methodology for evaluating the fault-detection ability of test suites. In mutation testing, a large number of mutants may be generated and need to be executed against the test suite under evaluation to check how many mutants the test suite is able to detect, as well as the kind of mutants that the current test suite fails to detect. Consequently, al… Show more

“…In fourth criterion, we select a popular common codec project developed by Apache Software Foundation which allows encoding and decoding of various complex codec formats such as Hexadecimal and Base64. The open source programs such as P # 6 , P # 7 , and P # 9 were also previously studied in predictive mutation testing study . The LOC details and the number of class and test methods in each program are reported using eclipse metric tool.…”

“…This paper considers the approaches from Zhang et al, Nica and Wotawa, and Jalbert and Bradbury to extract source code features based on CBT theory using PDGs . To validate our approach, we used machine learning algorithms for equivalent mutant classification; whereas, precision , recall , area under the curve ( AUC ), kappa coefficient , and mean absolute error ( MAE ) are used as evaluation metrics for predictive equivalent mutant classification.…”
