Process

• Define a set of test cases for a program

  • Test until no more defects are found

• Produce mutants

  • Test these mutants with the same test set as the base program
  • Score “dead” vs. “live” mutants (ones that are and are not distinguished from the original program)
  • Add test cases until there are no dead mutants
