Testing convolutional neural network based deep learning systems: a statistical metamorphic approach by Faqeer ur Rehman, Clemente Izurieta

“…We propose seven MRs combined with different statistical methods to statistically verify whether the program under test adheres to the relation(s) specified in the MR(s). We further use mutation testing techniques to show the usefulness of the proposed approach in the healthcare space and test two CNN-based deep learning models (used for pneumonia detection among patients). …”
