MR-Adopt: Automatic Deduction of Input Transformation Function for Metamorphic Testing

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: While a recent study reveals that many developer-written test cases can encode a reusable Metamorphic Relation (MR), over 70% of them directly hard-code the source input and follow-up input in the encoded relation. Such encoded MRs, which do not contain an explicit input transformation to transform the source inputs to corresponding follow-up inputs, cannot be reused with new source inputs to enhance test adequacy.
