Test of Time Award Winning Paper from FSE 2014
Are mutants a valid substitute for real faults in software testing? by René Just, Darioush Jalali, Laura Inozemtseva, Michael D. Ernst, Reid Holmes, and Gordon Fraser
For conducting a rigorous empirical study that shows the extent to which mutants can be used to assess the effectiveness of a test suite. This study has been seminal for a number of follow up works, including those learning mutants from existing code bases.
Test of Time Award Runner-Up Honorable Mention from FSE 2014
