MDroid+：一个Android的突变测试框架
MDroid+: A Mutation Testing Framework for Android
摘要：
变异测试在评估测试套件的有效性方面表现出了很大的潜力，同时在测试用例生成、选择和优先级排序方面也表现出了额外的应用。传统的突变测试通常利用一组简单的语言特定的源代码转换（称为操作符）来引入错误。然而，实证研究表明，变异测试是最有效的，这些简单的运营商必须与特定的运营商在测试中的软件的域。突变测试应用的一个具有挑战性的软件领域是移动应用程序。虽然移动设备和附带的应用程序已成为现代计算的支柱，但其开发中使用的框架和模式使得测试和验证特别困难。为了帮助衡量和确保移动测试实践的有效性，我们引入了MDroid+，这是一个用于Android应用程序突变测试的自动化框架。MDroid+包括来自十种经验推导的Android故障类型的38个突变运算符，并已应用于为50多个应用程序生成8，000多个突变体。
英文摘要：
Mutation testing has shown great promise in assessing the effectiveness of test suites while exhibiting additional applications to test-case generation, selection, and prioritization. Traditional mutation testing typically utilizes a set of simple language specific source code transformations, called operators, to introduce faults. However, empirical studies have shown that for mutation testing to be most effective, these simple operators must be augmented with operators specific to the domain of the software under test. One challenging software domain for the application of mutation testing is that of mobile apps. While mobile devices and accompanying apps have become a mainstay of modern computing, the frameworks and patterns utilized in their development make testing and verification particularly difficult. As a step toward helping to measure and ensure the effectiveness of mobile testing practices, we introduce MDroid+, an automated framework for mutation testing of Android apps. MDroid+ includes 38 mutation operators from ten empirically derived types of Android faults and has been applied to generate over 8,000 mutants for more than 50 apps.
