a systematic literature review of techniques and metrics to reduce the cost of mutation testing

(I1): The study was included if it proposes an approach to reduce the cost of mutation testing. • (I2): The study was included if it applies an approach to reduce the cost of mutation testing. • (I3): The study was included if it is a primary study, peer-reviewed, and published either in a conference or a scientific journal. •

Historically, researchers have proposed and applied many techniques to reduce the cost of mutation testing. It has become di cult to nd all techniques and to understand the cost-bene t tradeo s among them, which is critical to transitioning this technology to prac-tice. This paper extends a prior workshop paper to summarize and analyze the current

This paper reports on results from a systematic review that characterizes the state-of-the-art on cost reduction for mutation testing. It analyzes the evolution of research on this topic and its underlying goals and techniques, and identifies metrics used to measure cost reduction. The mixed search strategy used automatic search, snowballing, and a survey of authors of primary studies. The ...

To this aim, this paper provides a systematic literature review on the application perspective of mutation testing based on a collection of 191 papers published between 1981 and 2015. In particular, we analysed in which quality assurance processes mutation testing is used, which mutation tools and which mutation operators are employed.

Mutation testing (MT) is regarded as a gold standard way to assess test suite (TS) fault finding capability and to verify the effectiveness of software testing methodologies. However, the adoption of MT in the software industry remains uncommon due to various problems. In this systematic literature review, we investigate the recent solutions of MT problems. Our review involves a comprehensive ...

There's an important gap between its current research status and the possibilities of adopting it for the industrial world, owing to its high costs. From the research perspective, mutation is a mature testing technique that has often shown its value for evaluating both software and software testing techniques. However, to the best of our knowledge, there's an important gap between its current ...
