Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described for mutation testing of database functions. A computing device identifies database functions for testing from at least one database. The computing device generates, for each identified database function, mutated database functions by automatically applying mutations to the identified database function that change aspects of the identified database function. The computing device deploys the mutated database functions to the at least one database. The computing device determines line coverage attributes associated with each mutated database function. The computing device selects tests for execution against each mutated database function based upon the line coverage attributes associated with each mutated database function. The computing device executes the selected tests against each mutated database function using test automation applications to determine an outcome associated with each test. The computing device generates an output file comprising the outcome associated with each test executed against the mutated database functions.
