This paper introduces the proposition to use a novel variant of symbolic execution called SEEM in the field of mutation testing. Its aim is to attempt to reliably detect equivalence between the original program and the mutant, hence moving a step forward in solving the equivalent mutant problem. This work aims to drastically and efficiently reduce the number of equivalent mutants, one of the few issues which have not been satisfactorily resolved in the field of mutation testing. ; peer-reviewed
