Abstract:Mutation testing is an effective defect-based software testing method, but a large number of mutants lead to expensive testing costs, which hinders the application of variation testing in industrial engineering. To solve this problem and enable mutation testing to be applied in industrial engineering, this paper improves the method of identifying redundant mutants based on data flow analysis and proposes the inclusion relationship between redundant mutants, so that the redundancy rate of mutants is reduced.
