Mutator : Mutation testing tool family for OO programs
Participants: Yves Le Traon [correspondant], Benoit Baudry, Franck Fleurey.The level of confidence in a software component is often linked to the quality of its test cases. This quality can in turn be evaluated with mutation analysis: faulty components (mutants) are systematically generated to check the proportion of mutants detected ("killed") by the test cases. The software proposes specific OO mutation operators and the corresponding tools for Java and C# programs since the Mutator line of mutation tools is available for Java and C# languages. This work has been carried out in collaboration with Daniel Deveaux from UBS.
