A Model for the Development of a Mutation Testing Cum Test Case Generation Tool

In this paper, a model for the development of an efficient tool has been proposed which improves the effectiveness of test cases by exposing the weaknesses in it. This tool primarily has two components-test case generation and mutation testing. The test case generation component identifies valid and invalid equivalent classes and automatically generates test data belonging to both classes; The mutation testing component injects mutants into the code to identify the strength of the test cases.
