— Model-based approaches, especially based on directed graphs (DG), are becoming popular for mutation testing as they enable definition of simple, nevertheless powerful, mutation...
Abstract— Traditional investigations with evolutionary programming (EP) for continuous parameter optimization problems have used a single mutation operator with a parameterized p...
A set of mutation operators for SQL queries that retrieve information from a database is developed and tested against a set of queries drawn from the NIST SQL Conformance Test Sui...
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the channel routing problem based on genetic approach that uses a new type of mutation, called inter-cluster mutation . The performance ...

There has been considerable discussion of the pros/cons of recombination and mutation operators in the context of Holland's schema theory. In this paper we de ne a common fra...
Testing has a vital support role in the software engineering process, but developing tests often takes significant resources. A formal specification is a repository of knowledge a...
Due to the expensiveness of compiling and executing a large number of mutants, it is usually necessary to select a subset of mutants to substitute the whole set of generated mutan...

The effectiveness of mutation testing depends heavily on the types of faults that the mutation operators are designed to represent. Therefore, the quality of the mutation operator...
The quality of a test suite can be measured using mutation analysis. Groups of OO mutation operators are proposed for testing object-oriented features. The OO operators applied to...
Abstract. Different mutation operators have been proposed in evolutionary programming. However, each operator may be efficient in solving a subset of problems, but will fail in an...
