Object Oriented Programs by Using Mutation Testing

Abstract

There is several class testing techniques applied to object oriented programs. The researcher identified problem in test criteria and it can be solved by using key OO features like encapsulation, Inheritance. Mutation testing is powerful approach for generating software tests and identified quality of software. We introduced two types to reduce cost of mutation testing for OO programs. Byte translation for mutants that change program behavior and MSG method to identify mutants that change program behavior
