Is the Stack Distance Between Test Case and Method Correlated With Test Effectiveness?
2019
Proceedings of the Evaluation and Assessment on Software Engineering - EASE '19
Mutation testing is a means to assess the effectiveness of a test suite and its outcome is considered more meaningful than code coverage metrics. However, despite several optimizations, mutation testing requires a significant computational effort and has not been widely adopted in industry. Therefore, we study in this paper whether test effectiveness can be approximated using a more light-weight approach. We hypothesize that a test case is more likely to detect faults in methods that are close
