Abstract

In view of the problem that the fault location method based on program spectrum completely depends on the statement coverage information of test case, which leads to low efficiency of fault location, this paper developed a program spectrum fault location technology based on mutation test technology. On the basis of the original calculation method of statement doubt degree, added the change analysis of test cases with different execution results after program mutation. In addition, in order to solve the problem that the number of mutations generated after program mutation is huge and the execution cost is too high, this paper developed a strategy of reducing mutants according to mutation location. Experimental results show that, compared with several fault location techniques based on program spectrum, this method has the lowest cost of fault location and can effectively improve the efficiency of fault location.
