Abstract

The society's increasing reliance on web applications with the growing online market and digitization of almost every service, there is an increasing demand for better reliability, security, and interoperability of web applications. Testing becomes an integral part of improving this reliability on web applications. Despite the innumerable number of tools, techniques, methods for testing web applications, there is still scope for expansion in the code coverage of web applications. Mutation testing with its expansive potential to expose vulnerabilities of web applications took a backseat owing to its exhaustive testing cycles. Some mutation operators related to security, performance, and other non-functional attributes of web applications are presented in the current work. In the current work, a thorough analysis of various mutations operators proposed by authors towards the non-existent operators thus far is presented. An augment of 47% of operators occurred in the present work. A concise discussion on the scope of work future direction of work is presented.
