Abstract:
A method for evaluating a test suite for a software library includes generating a mutated software library by adding a fault to the software library, while the software library is used by a testing tool to evaluate a test suite. The method further includes loading the mutated software library, then executing a test in the test suite on the mutated software library to obtain a test result. The method further includes analyzing the test result.
