It is a costly method in terms of time and efficiency, since it requires a vast amount of mutants to be generated. For this reason, mutant generation should be performed automatically with the help of automated tools. There are a number of mutation testing tools available and each one is supported by a single programming language. In this study, we analyze mutation testing tools for C#. We focus on different characteristics of the tools and aim to help the testers when deciding which tool they can use for their implementations by providing a comparative analysis. © 2019 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessC# programming languagemutation operatorsmutation testingsoftware testingAda (programming language)Application programsQuality controlTestingArtificial defectsAutomated toolsC# programmingComparative analysisFault-basedMutation operatorsMutation testingSoftware testing techniquesSoftware testingConference Object10.1109/UBMK.2019.89072222-s2.0-85076207183
