This repository contains resources regarding the following paper:
Shin, Donghwan, Shin Yoo, and Doo-Hwan Bae. "A theoretical and empirical study of diversity-aware mutation adequacy criterion." IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 44.10 (2018): 914-931.
This repository provides not a ready-made tool for testing, but a program for experiments; you can generate various mutation-adequate test suites (from the given test pool) using
- (traditional) kill-only mutation adequacy criterion and
- (diversity-aware) distinguishing mutation adequacy criterion.
- JDK 11 (or higher)
All the required resources,
including test pools (generated by developers, Randoop, and EvoSuite-branch) and mutants (generated by Major),
are there (under resources/).
You can check the mutant-test kill-matrices for each fault.
For example, if you want to see the kill-matrix of Chart-1, you can find resources/matrices/Chart/Chart.1f.big.all.Matrix.csv.
It shows which of the test cases in the test pool kills what mutants.
To generate mutation-adequate test suites using the kill-matrices, you can simply run src/TS_Experiment.java.
Inside, you can find many options you can play with.
If you simply run the file as it is, you will find the output files under resources/testSuiteSelection_scoreControl.
Unfortunately, it does not support "good" documentations for details. You need to take a look the source codes. Sorry. Of course, you can use the "Issues" board if you have some questions. I will try to my best to reply your questions. Thanks!
