Evaluation of EPL mutation operators with the MuEPL mutation system

作者：

Highlights：

• The definition of specific mutation operators for an Event Processing Language.

• A new system, MuEPL, which applys mutation testing to this Event Processing Language.

• A quantitative evaluation of the mutants in five open-source programs.

• The publication of the corresponding system as Open Source Software.
