Abstract

Mutation testing is an extraordinary testing technique to introduce faults in original program [11] to enhance the robustness of the code and to create better test cases. Special mutant operators are used to create large number of mutants. The result produced must be different from the original program [6]. Mutation testing requires large number of mutants [1] to be tested against the test cases being generated [6]. Thus, automatic generation of mutants are preferred to reduce the overall cost. This paper represents an efficient and simplified analysis for generating mutants using PIT tool over MuClipse tool using Eclipse IDE environment for reducing cost which is a complex problem in any software testing.
