ICST 2017: The Theory of Composite Faults
Fault masking happens when the effect of one fault serves to mask that of another fault for particular test inputs. The coupling effect is relied upon by testing practitioners to ensure that fault masking is rare. It states that complex … Continue reading

FSE 2016: Can Testedness be Effectively Measured?
Among the major questions that a practicing tester faces are deciding where to focus additional testing effort, and deciding when to stop testing. Test the least-tested code, and stop when all code is well-tested, is a reasonable answer. Many measures … Continue reading

Software Quality Journal 2016: Does The Choice of Mutation Tool Matter?
Mutation analysis is the primary means of evaluating the quality of test suites, though it suffers from inadequate standardization. Mutation analysis tools vary based on language, when mutants are generated (phase of compilation), and target audience. Mutation tools rarely implement … Continue reading

ICSTW 2016: Measuring Effectiveness of Mutant Sets
Redundant mutants, where multiple mutants end up producing same the semantic variant of the program is a major problem in mutation analysis, and a measure of effectiveness is an essential tool for evaluating mutation tools, new operators, and reduction techniques. … Continue reading

ICSE 2016: On the limits of mutation reduction strategies
Although mutation analysis is considered the best way to evaluate the effectiveness of a test suite, hefty computational cost often limits its use. To address this problem, various mutation reduction strategies have been proposed, all seeking to gain efficiency by … Continue reading

ISSRE 2015: How hard does mutation analysis have to be, anyway?
Mutation analysis is considered the best method for measuring the adequacy of test suites. However, the number of test runs required for a full mutation analysis grows faster than project size, which is not feasible for real-world software projects, which … Continue reading

ESEM 2015: An empirical study of design degradation: how software projects get worse over time
Software decay is a key concern for large, long lived software projects. Systems degrade over time as design and implementation compromises and exceptions pile up. However, there has been little research quantifying this decay, or understanding how software projects deal … Continue reading

ISSRE 2014: Mutations How close are they to real faults?
Mutation analysis is often used to compare the effectiveness of different test suites or testing techniques. One of the main assumptions underlying this technique is the Competent Programmer Hypothesis, which proposes that programs are very close to a correct version, … Continue reading

ICSE 2014: Code Coverage for Suite Evaluation by Developers
One of the most fundamental concerns of developers testing code is how to determine if a test suite strikes a good balance between the cost of undetected faults and the cost of further testing. The most common approach may be … Continue reading
