Hello everyone,

I am working on a mutation testing technique, in which I have generated multiple mutants of the same ATL transformation, i.e. multiple versions of the same transformation. However, each version has a mutated element, which makes it erroneous and unable to produce the desired output model.

The process of testing aims to improve the test suite (the group of test cases, which will be input models for our transformations). Therefore, I also, generated multiple input models (instances) conforming to my input metamodel.

The test cases are supposed to reveal the errors in the mutated transformations and kill them or else, they need to be updated/improved and each mutant (ATL transformation) must be run over the entire test suite until one of the test cases detects the error.

Therefore, what I need is an automatic solution to run an ATL transformation over multiple separate input models at the same time (parallel) to produce multiple separate output models ( without having to manually launch each transformation on each input model using the Eclipse run configuration option in a "one at a time" manner).

Any suggestions of possible configurations, tools, instructions, whatever to enable that are welcome.
Thank you.
