In recent blog posts about test generation for mutation testing, I have detailed that mutants introduce small changes into the original model each mimicking a potential software bug. These changes are seeded on a set of mutation operators that are rules applied to the system to create mutants. These are simple syntactic or semantic transformation ...
mutation testing
Recently I wrote a blog post about mutation testing. That post was a high level overview of what mutation testing is and how mutation analysis can be applied in automatic test generation. This time I was thinking of writing a more hands-on blog post about how to interpret and understand test cases generated by Conformiq’s recently introduced ...
We are super excited to announce the release of Conformiq Designer 5.0 which includes a support for mutation testing! This version of Designer automatically designs and generates test cases that target certain types of software bugs. This support will not only immensely increase the quality of the generated test cases, but also provides a better ...
Mutation testing is a software testing method which involves modifying the system code in small changes, yielding a faulty system, a mutant of the original one. These changes mimic typical errors that a programmer could have made. The goal is to find weaknesses in a test suite and to develop more effective one.
Mutation analysis is typically ...
