Towards Mutation Analysis for Lustre Programs

Mutation analysis is usually used to provide indication of the fault detection ability of a test set. It is mainly used for unit testing evaluation. This paper describes mutation analysis principles and their adaptation to the Lustre programming language. Alien-V, a mutation tool for Lustre is presented. Lesar model-checker is used for eliminating equivalent mutant. A first experimentation to evaluate Lutess testing tool is summarized.
