MoMuT
The MoMuT tools combine mutation-based test case generation with standard techniques to deliver high quality test suites with an excellent cost/benefit ratio. Heart of this new technology is the concept of fault seeding or mutation. The tools use customizable mutation operators to derive mutated (faulty) models from the original test model. Given a mutant and the original test model, the tools then search for a sequence of inputs and outputs that uncovers any design implementing the mutant instead of the original.
Mutation-based test case generation is the most fine-grained and versatile test generation technique available today. It can not only be used to test functional properties of designs but also to generate tests that detect certain non-functional defects. Finally, it also allows the tools to know exactly which faults are caught by a particular test case and to analyze or extend existing test sets.
BENEFITS
- Automated and model-based test case generation
- Customizable and very fine grained control over the test coverage via fault models.
- Assessment and extension of an existing test suite.
- An optimized test suite for regression testing.
- Fault location support for failed regression tests
- Integration into existing workflow via OSLC.
We are in the process of adding support for activity diagrams, integration with Enterprise Architect and model defactoring. Adding a better User Interface.
