CBUA: A Probabilistic, Predictive, and Practical Approach for Evaluating Test Suite Effectiveness

Knowing the effectiveness of a test suite is essential for many activities such as assessing the test adequacy of code and guiding the generation of new test cases. Mutation testing is a commonly used defect injection technique for evaluating the effectiveness of a test suite. However, it is usually computationally expensive, as a large number of mutants (buggy versions) are needed to be generated...
