Table 1 The results of testing GNLab with MT

GNLab and nine of its mutants were tested against three batches of test cases, which are labeled as R (random), Y (yeast) and E (E. coli). Each pair of test cases that detects a violation of a MR in a program is labeled by its batch in the respective cell in the table. For example, the label 'RY' in the cell [GM6, MR2(a)] indicates that mutant 6 violates MR2(a) according to the test cases in batch R and batch Y.
