What is Mutation Testing?

Answer Posted / kris

A testing methodology in which two or more program
mutations are executed using the same test cases to
evaluate the ability of the test cases to detect
differences in the mutations.
---------------------------------------------
Mutation Testing is a fault-based testing technique
Measure the effectiveness of test cases
Assumption: a program will be well tested if all simple
faults are detected and removed

Simple faults are introduced into the program by creating a
set of faulty version, called MUTANTS

A mutant P&#8217; is a program that is similar to the program P
being tested
It differs from P only by a mutation (mutant operators)
Mutant operators example: Istruction delete, Change of a
constant value, Change of a variable

Test cases are used to execute these mutants with the goal
of causing each mutant P&#8217; to produce incorrect output
If P&#8217; produce different results from P, running the same
test case T &#61664; Mutant killed
