Unfortunately, alleviating these weakness (i.e. ``killing the surviving mutants'') is quite labour-intensive. In this paper we investigate a recommender system which expands test cases with extra asserts for the easy-to-fix mutants. We evaluated a proof-of-concept tool on ten open-source projects, and killed up to 6\% of the surviving mutants. This illustrates that such a test expansion system would free up valuable time to address the harder-to-fix mutants.}, annote = {internationalconference}, doi = {10.5220/0009766800270038}, url = {https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.09210}, }
