Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method for creating a higher order mutant for mutation testing software is disclosed. The method includes, for each software test of a set of software tests, identifying a respective code path. The method further includes, for each first order mutant of a plurality of first order mutants, associating the first order mutant with the one or more identified code paths it interacts with. The method further includes creating a higher order mutant by combining two or more first order mutants based on the one or more associated code paths.
