Mutation analysis inserts faults into a program to createtest sets that distinguish the mutant from the original program.Inserted faults must represent plausible errors. Standardtransformations can mutate scalar values such as integers,floats, and character data. Mutating objects is anopen problem, because object semantics are defined by theprogrammer and can vary widely. We develop mutation operatorsand support tools that can mutate Java library itemsthat are heavily used in commercial software. Our mutationengine can support reusable libraries of mutation componentsto inject faults into objects that instantiate items fromthese common Java libraries. Our technique should be effectivefor evaluating real-world software testing suites.
