Testing COBOL Programs by Mutation. Volume I. Introduction to the CMS.1 System.

Abstract

Program mutation is a testing technique which has been applied to Fortran programs(ABDLS). This thesis will describe the application of mutation to the Cobol language in an automated program mutation system. The thesis will describe the development of a Cobol Mutation System (CMS.1), its testing using Fortran mutation analysis, and the subset of Cobol that is supported by CMS.1. The internal representation selected to represent the Cobol source statements and a description of the mutant operators that are implemented in CMS.1 will also be supplied. (Author)
