Operators are special characters within the Java language to manipulate primitive data type. Java operators can be classified as unary, binary and ternary. The design of Java operator sometimes becomes confusing when it comes to testing tools as they had the same function with different label in every testing tool.  Therefore, in order to map the knowledge of operators correctly, this research has proposed ontology that is dedicated to mutation testing as a means to define the formal specification of concepts and documentation of knowledge of Java operators. Existing papers on ontology did not specify further on entities and properties of operators. Some papers only focus on mutation testing but not the operators. Thus, this paper will present the ontology clearly with the aim to ease end user to identify and understand every classes, properties and relations in Java operators.

AbstractWe present a new method for model-based mutation-driven test case generation. Mutants are generated by making small syntactical modifications to the model or source code of the system under test. A test case kills a mutant if the behavior of the mutant deviates from the original system when running the test. In this work, we use hyperproperties—which allow to express relations between multiple executions—to formalize different notions of killing for both deterministic as well as non-deterministic models. The resulting hyperproperties are universal in the sense that they apply to arbitrary reactive models and mutants. Moreover, an off-the-shelf model checking tool for hyperproperties can be used to generate test cases. Furthermore, we propose solutions to overcome the limitations of current model checking tools via a model transformation and a bounded SMT encoding. We evaluate our approach on a number of models expressed in two different modeling languages by generating tests using a state-of-the-art mutation testing tool.
