Mutation Analysis for Software Testing of Programs Written in the Rust Programming Language

变异分析是一种评估软件测试在故障查找能力方面有多好的方法。不幸的是，用Rust编程语言编写的程序的工具和技术供应不足，Rust编程语言是一种相对较新但流行的系统编程语言。Rust要求程序以非常受限的方式编写，以维护并发编程的安全性和内存处理保证。因此，这是一种很难“变异”的语言，也就是说，引入实际编译的错误，并可用于评估软件测试。这项工作将进一步推动Rust突变分析的应用，提供一种有效运行的可用技术。它还将考虑与真实的Rust程序和开发人员一起研究工作的实用价值。

Mutation analysis is a way of assessing how good software tests are in terms of their fault-finding capability. Unfortunately, tools and techniques are in short supply for programs written in the Rust programming language, a relatively new but popular systems programming language. Rust requires programs to be written in a very constrained way to uphold security and memory handling guarantees for concurrent programming. It is therefore a difficult language to "mutate" that is, to introduce faults that actually compile and can be used to assess software tests. This work will further the application of mutation analysis for Rust, providing a usable technique that will run efficiently and effectively. It will also consider the practical value of the work with studies with real Rust programs and developers.
