slugHIGHER ORDER MUTATION TESTING (RESULT- EQUIVALENT MUTANTS)
Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Whenever we make a single change to the original program we get First Order Mutant (FOM). When we apply another single change to FOM we get Second Order Mutant (SOM).On applying another single change to SOM we get Third Order Mutant (TOM).Mutants other than FOM are called Higher Order Mutant (HOM).In this paper we prove that as we move from FOM to SOM to TOM there will not be any test data that will kill the Original Program resulting to the formation of equivalent mutants. Equivalent Mutants are never killed hence they will never detect any fault and thus they are considered useless.
