Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Adaptive Machine Learning Algorithm for Resilient Higher-Order Mutant GenerationSubhasish Mohanty, Jyotirmaya Mishra, Sudhir Kumar Mohapatra et al.In the field of software engineering, ensuring the reliability androbustness of software is paramount, and software testing plays a criticalrole in this process. Mutation testing, a fault-based technique, evaluates theeffectiveness of test suites by introducing artificial defects, known asmutants, into programs. This research presents a novel method forgenerating higher-order mutants (HOMs) using the Chemical ReactionOptimization (CRO) algorithm, which enhances the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 5 · 20 May 2025 · 8,238 accessesView PDFCite
