Abstract

In the context of deductive proof, formal specification (and thus proofs) may only cover a small part of the program behaviours. We discuss the relevance of applying a mutation analysis, proposed to evaluate the quality of a test set, to evaluate if a specification is able to detect predefined types of faults.
