EvoSuite: automatic test suite generation for object-oriented software
Gordon Fraser,Andrea Arcuri +1 more
TL;DR: EvoSuite is presented, a tool that automatically generates test cases with assertions for classes written in Java code that applies a novel hybrid approach that generates and optimizes whole test suites towards satisfying a coverage criterion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Are mutants a valid substitute for real faults in software testing
TL;DR: This paper investigates whether mutants are indeed a valid substitute for real faults, i.e., whether a test suite’s ability to detect mutants is correlated with its able to detect real faults that developers have fixed, and shows a statistically significant correlation between mutant detection and real fault detection, independently of code coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole Test Suite Generation
Gordon Fraser,Andrea Arcuri +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel paradigm in which whole test suites are evolved with the aim of covering all coverage goals at the same time while keeping the total size as small as possible, and implemented this novel approach in the EvoSuite tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Survey on Metamorphic Testing
TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive survey on metamorphic testing, which summarises the research results and application areas, and analyses common practice in empirical studies of metamorphIC testing as well as the main open challenges.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Evaluating and improving fault localization
Spencer Pearson,Jose Campos,René Just,Gordon Fraser,Rui Abreu,Michael D. Ernst,Deric Pang,Benjamin J. Keller +7 more
TL;DR: A design space is identified that includes many previously-studied fault localization techniques as well as hundreds of new techniques, and which factors in the design space are most important, using an overall set of 395 real faults.
