Abstract

The quality of the W&T — Verification, Validation and Testing — activity is extremely relevant to the software development process. The establishment of a low-cost, effective testing and validation strategy and the development of supporting tools have been pursued by many researchers. This presentation discusses the main architectural and operational aspects of a family of tools that support specification and program testing based on mutation. The testing of C programs is supported by Proteum/IM 2.0, at the unit and at the integration level as well. Proteum is an acronym for PROgram Testing Using Mutants. At the specification level the application of mutation testing for validating Reactive Systems (RS) specifications based on Finite State Machines (FSM), Statecharts and Petri Nets is support by Proteum/RS.
