Abstract:
Software is all around us in our lives in the industrialized world, and we as a society and individuals need it to function correctly. Software testing fills the role of performing behavior audits, to guide the correction of the software to its intended behavior. The consequences of faulty software can range to the late arrival of trains, to nuclear meltdowns. This places quality requirements on the software of various levels. Program based mutation testing provides a high level of faultfinding capability. It does this by injecting many synthetic faults into the code under test, as described b

Abstract:
The recessive hair loss mutant, dep, contains a mutation (del-233F) at the C-terminal of Zdhhc21. Wild-type Zdhhc21 has been shown to enhance palmitoylation of several specific substrates in a transfected cell assay. Zdhhc21 localises to the cis-Golgi, whereas the mutant protein is mislocalised and is inactive in palmitoylation. We verified the candidacy of Zdhhc21 by transgenic BAC rescue. Dep is characterised by progressive hair loss, hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands, the interfollicular epidermis and the outer root sheath.

The cytoplasm viscosity increases in the long term with decreasing temperature. The length of the monotonous sequence in which happens an irreparable mutation (caused by base rivalry) then will be larger than at higher temperatures. This means that the possib

Abstract:
Mutation Testing (or Mutation Analysis) is a source code testing technique which analyses code by altering code components. The output from the altered code is compared with output from the original code. If they are identical then Mutation Testing has been successful in discerning a weakness in either the test code or the test data. A mutation test therefore helps the tester to develop a program devoid of simple faults with a well developed test data set. The confidence in both program and data set is then increased. Mutation Analysis is resource intensive. It requires program copies, with on

Mutation testing is a fault-based software testing technique that has been studied widely for over three decades. To date, work in this field has focused largely on first order mutants because it is believed that higher order mutation testing is too computationally expensive to be practical.

Although much progress has been made in engineering multi-agent systems (MAS), many issues remain to be resolved. One issue is that there is a lack of techniques that can adequately evaluate the effectiveness (fault detection ability) of tests or testing techniques for MAS. Another is that there are no systematic approaches to evaluating the impact of possible semantic changes (changes in the interpretation of agent programs) on agents' behaviour and performance. This thesis introduces syntactic and semantic mutation to address these two issues. Syntactic mutation is a technique that systemati

Recently, researchers have been considering adaptive EAs to address the aforementioned problems.

Genetic Improvement (GI) of software is a recent field that has drawn much attention from Software Engineering researchers. It aims to use search techniques to automatically modify and improve existing software.

To overcome the scalability challenge, more recent studies have confined the granularity of code modification at the statement level and applied a prior sensitivity analysis to further reduce the search space.

Gender is marked by mutations, a set of morphophonological changes that affect the initial consonants of words, and the mapping between mutation and gender is quite opaque.
