Re-evaluating Detection of Equivalent Mutants using LLMs: We Should Properly Measure How Far We Are
Mutation testing is a widely used approach for measuring test-suite quality. A critical problem in mutation testing is equivalent mutant detection (EMD), i.e., determining if a mutant semantically behaves the same as the original code despite some syntactic differences. A recent study has shown that LLM-based EMD techn...
