摘要

长期以来,各种形式的选择性突变检测被认为是完全突变检测的有效近似。本文提出了对传统选择突变理论的反证。近年来,显性突变和最小突变分析的发展使我们能够在分析选择性突变时避免传统突变所固有的冗余所带来的噪声。然后,我们详尽地评估了Proteum突变系统的所有小突变操作符集,并确定了显性突变分数和在经验测试台上为每个这些集所需的工作。结果表明,所有可能的选择性突变方法至少在某些程序上具有较差的显性突变分数。这表明,为了获得关于全突变分析的高性能,选择方法将必须变得更加复杂,可能是通过基于被测试工件的细节来选择突变,也就是说,专门的选择突变。

Analyzing the validity of selective mutation with dominator mutants
Various forms of selective mutation testing have long been accepted as valid approximations to full mutation testing. This paper presents counterevidence to traditional selective mutation. The recent development of dominator mutants and minimal mutation analysis lets us analyze selective mutation without the noise introduced by the redundancy inherent in traditional mutation. We then exhaustively evaluate all small sets of mutation operators for the Proteum mutation system and determine dominator mutation scores and required work for each of these sets on an empirical test bed. The results show that all possible selective mutation approaches have poor dominator mutation scores on at least some of these programs. This suggests that to achieve high performance with respect to full mutation analysis, selective approaches will have to become more sophisticated, possibly by choosing mutants based on the specifics of the artifact under test, that is, specialized selective mutation.
