Object Oriented Mutation Applied in Java Application programming Interface and C++ Classes
Titu Singh Arora, Ravindra Gupta
Abstract
Mutation analysis is a powerful and computationally expensive technique that measures the effectiveness of test cases for revealing faults. The principal expense of mutation analysis is that many faulty versions of the program under test, culled mutants, must be repeatedly executed. We survey several aspects of reconstruction of complex object-oriented faults on the java API. Application of object-oriented mutation operators in java programs using a parser-based tool can be precise but requires compilation of mutants. In this paper we approach the mutation on Object Oriented features to test the functionality. For this we consider java and C++ programs.
