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’ 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’ to produce incorrect output
If P’ produce different results from P, running the same
test case T  Mutant killed
