Mutation testing: mutation score and equivalent mutants

Research query: Mutation testing: mutation score and equivalent mutants · jobs: 1 · on-topic sources: 4 · review: Held

Overview

We calculated a weighted mutation score and compared this with the mutation score of a full set of mutants executed. — Mutation testing: Clustering the mutants (2021)

Different techniques have been proposed to reduce the cost of mutation testing. — Mutation testing: Clustering the mutants (2021)

These results show that selective reduction in mutants can significantly reduce the cost of testing with acceptable mutation score and code coverage. — Reduction in Mutation Testing of Java Classes (2014)

These results show that selective reduction in mutants can significantly reduce the cost of testing with acceptable mutation score and code coverage. — Reduction in Mutation Testing of Java classes (2015)

How to apply

This artifact is information and a reusable solution. Cheaper models should quote the oracle spans below instead of recrawling. Scan GET /library and GET /api/v1/match?q= before minting a new job.
