Recently, it is shown that, with some proper adaptations, mutation testing can also be utilized as a black-box testing approach. For this purpose, a modeling structure, a set of mutation operators, coverage criteria and test case generation methods are required. This paper compares event-based and state-based realizations of this testing approach over a case study and achieves experimental and comparative results, while validating the applicability of the discussed notions.enEvent-based mutation testing vs. state-based mutation testing - comparison using a web-based systemText/Conference Paper1617-5468
