Mutation Testing of Functional Programming Languages Duc Le Mohammad Amin Alipour Rahul Gopinath Alex Groce Oregon State University Oregon State University Oregon State University Oregon State University ledu@ alipour@ gopinath@ alex@ Abstract— omissions in a test suite, many more powerful coverages cannot easily map to omissions. That a path is never explored in Mutation testing has been widely studied in imperative testing may be highly uninteresting, in that the path has no programming languages. The rising popularity of functional languages and the adoption of functional idioms in traditional behavioral consequences. Non-equivalent mutants, however, languages (e.g. lambda expressions) requires a new set of studies always map to a statement that the current test suite would miss for evaluating the effectiveness of mutation testing in a functional a particular hypothetical fault in the SUT. Mutation testing, like context. In this paper, we report our ongoing effort in apply- branch or statement testing, therefore, should be a source not ing mutation testing in functional programming languages. We only of suite quality information, but of information directly describe new mutation operators for functional constructs and useful in improving a test suite or test oracles. Mutation explain why functional languages might facilitate understanding testing subsumes the direct i
