Equivalent Mutants Detection Method Using Symbolic Execution
Takaya Ueshiba, Weitao Wang, Hirohide Haga (Doshisha Univ.) KBSE2013-88
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a method for automatically detecting equivalent mutants using symbolic execution. In mutation analysis, mutant programs are generated by embedding bugs in the original program intentionally.However, equivalent mutants whose execution results are exactly the same as original program may be produced. Equivalent mutants disturb the accurate evaluation of test set quality. Therefore, it is necessary to remove them. The proposed system is for Java programming language. First,both of original and mutant programs are executed symbolically, and the outputs for arbitrary inputs are generated. Then, if the output of the mutant is equivalent to that of the original, the system determines that the mutant is an equivalent mutant.
