Mutation Selection: Some Could be Better than All
In previous research, many mutation selection techniques have been proposed to reduce the cost of mutation analysis. After a mutant subset is selected, researchers could obtain a t...

From behaviour preservation to behaviour modification: constraint-based mutant generation
The efficacy of mutation analysis depends heavily on its capability to mutate programs in such a way that they remain executable and exhibit deviating behaviour. Whereas the forme...
