Consumer acceptance of manufactured frozen "heat and serve" foods has produced a fast growing industry. Mass processing of these foods brings about various problems of a microbiological nature on the production, distribution, and retail level. Many segments of the industry have developed adequate quality control measures for flavor, physical appearance, stability, and wholesomeness. Slocum (195...

The level of confidence in a software component is often linked to the quality of its test cases. This quality can in turn be evaluated with mutation analysis: faults are injected into the software component (making mutants of it) to check the proportion of mutants detected (‘killed’) by the test cases. But while the generation of a set of basic test cases is easy, improving its quality may req...
