“This paper presents a brief outline of a higher-order mutation based framework for Genetic Improvement (GI). We argue that search-based higher-order mutation testing can be used to implement a form of genetic programming (GP) to increase the search granularity and testability of GI.”
This paper introduces 9 Memory Mutation Operators targeting common memory faults and two new testing criteria, the Memory Fault Detection and the Control Flow Deviation criteria to augment the traditional strong mutation testing criterion.
We introduce mutation-aware fault prediction, which leverages additional guidance from metrics constructed in terms of mutants and the test cases that cover and detect them.
Memory mutation testing

We introduce Memory Mutation Testing, proposing 9 Memory Mutation Operators each of which targets common forms of memory fault. We compare Memory Mutation Operators with traditional Mutation Operators, while handling equivalent and duplicate mutants.
