M1754 Mutation Testing on WPT Suite
Servo uses the WPT test suite for integration testing, but does not perform an evaluation of the breadth of the tests. The goal of this project is to use techniques from mutation testing to evaluate the performance of the WPT test suite when bugs are deliberately introduced into the code base.
Introduction
Servo
Servo is a modern, high-performance browser engine designed for both application and embedded use. <ref> https://github.com/servo/servo </ref> is a web browser layout engine written in Rust<ref>https://github.com/rust-lang/rust</ref> and is currently being developed by Mozilla Research. The aim of the project is not to create a full browser but is rather to create a highly parallel environment that allows for many components be handled by fine-grained, isolated tasks.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(layout_engine)</ref>
Rust
Rust Rust is an open source programming, systems programming language sponsored by Mozilla Research.
Rust performs the majority of its safety checks and memory management decisions at compile time, so that your program’s runtime performance isn’t impacted. This makes it useful in a number of use cases that other languages aren’t good at: programs with predictable space and time requirements, embedding in other languages, and writing low-level code, like device drivers and operating systems. It’s also great for web applications: it powers the Rust package registry site.
Mutation Testing
Mutation Testing is a type of software testing where we mutate (change) certain statements in the source code and check if the test cases are able to find the errors.The goal of Mutation Testing is to assess the quality of the test cases which should be robust enough to fail mutant code. This method is also called as Fault based testing strategy as it involves creating fault in the program.Faults are introduced into the source code of the program by creating many versions called mutants. Each mutant should contain a single fault, and the goal is to cause the mutant version to fail which demonstrates the effectiveness of the test cases." provides a way for data to be retrieved from a URL without having to retrieve the entire page.
