As a side effect, this variant also identifies methods in the software under test that never participate in state changes, and uses these more heavily when building assertions. Our evaluation of this strategy concentrates on collection classes, since in this context of object-oriented implementations that describe stateful objects obbeying complex invariants, object variability is highly relevant. Our experimental comparison takes the main data structures in java.util, and shows that our object redundancy reduction strategy has an important impact in testing collections, measured in terms of code coverage and mutation killing."enPROGRAMACION ORIENTADA A OBJETOSREDUNDANCIAPonencias en Congresos
