摘要：
Environmental bugs are bugs caused by limitations of precision or capacity in the environment of a piece of software. These bugs may be difficult to activate and even more difficult to find. This paper reports on an extension to traditional mutation testing that enables testing specifically for environmental bugs involving integer arithmetic. This method is both simple and effective, and provides some insight into other possible extensions of the mutation‐testing methodology that can be used to expose environmental bugs.
