In summary, this paper defines and explores tailored mutation operators, advancing the state of the art in mutation testing in two ways: 1) it suggests mutation operators that mutate identifiers and literals, extending mutation analysis to a new class of faults and 2) it demonstrates that selecting the location where a mutation operator is applied decreases the number of generated mutants without affecting the coupling of mutants and real faults.
Experiment showed that the response of a genotype to mutation, i. e., the magnitude of mutational change in a phenotypic property, can be correlated with the extent of phenotypic fluctuation among genetic clones.
This type of variation in mutation rate is expected to alter a variety of predictions based on mutation load theory and accelerate adaptation to new environments.

This indicates that domain mutation operators are needed to enhance mutation analysis.
The recent development of dominator mutants and minimal mutation analysis lets us analyze selective mutation without the noise introduced by the redundancy inherent in traditional mutation.
In this method, experimental conditions do not need to be altered depending on mutation sites, and it should be the alternative method for mutation screening.
We conclude that the new operators represent an improvement in this area, and that their combined use with mutation operators that do not use optimization strategies, can help the algorithm to reach quality solutions.
Results shown that the addition of a mutation operator to PSO can enhance optimisation performance and insight is gained into how to design mutation operators dependent on the nature of the problem being optimized.
In this article, we propose a new mutation technique called, directed mutation following the concept of induced mutation in biological systems.
Loci that do not make a difference to marginal fitnesses at equilibrium are not subject to the reduction principle, and under fine tuning of mutation rates would be expected to have higher mutation rates than loci in mutation-selection balance. Other results include the nonexistence of ‘viability analogous, Hardy–Weinberg’ modifier polymorphisms under multiplicative mutation, and the sufficiency of average transmission rates to encapsulate the effect of modifier polymorphisms on the transmission of loci under selection.
