The 8th CREST Open Workshop 

Advanced Mootation* Testing

Date:

Wednesday, 27th October, 2010 

Venue:

Engineering Front Executive Suite

Roberts Building (Directions, or 'C5' on the map here, or Find it on Google maps.)

Overview:

Mutation Testing is increasingly becoming a mature and valuable technique for software test assessment and improvement.  Often mutation testing is used to assess the quality of testing and to assess the effectiveness of approaches to testing proposed by researchers.  Recently there has been increased interest in advanced forms of mutation that can go beyond traditional first order syntactic fault injection.This workshop will explore advanced forms of mutation. It will bring together researchers and tool developers as well as users  and potential users of mutation testing techniques.

*"Mootation Testing" is a second order mutant of "Mutation Testing"

Programme and Downloadable Resources:

Talks will be 25 minutes allowing 15 minutes for discussion and questions.
