Abstract
Abstract This article presents a model-based mutation framework for creating mutant systems implemented in IEC61131-3 languages. The framework is based on a meta-model of the IEC61131-3 standard. It supports 21 mutation operations, such as the addition or removal of POUs or the mutation of Structured Text and Sequential Functional Charts. Moreover, operations can be combined to create higher-order changes, such as Type III code clones. The mutation framework can be used to evaluate and improve development tools for supporting the evolution of manufacturing systems, such as regression test suite generators or clone detectors.
