This study investigated mutation testing for graph database queries. Database queries serve a significant role in many application programs. SQL queries are the most common, but new types of databases and their query languages have emerged and begun gaining popularity. This paper focuses on queries written in Cypher, a language for accessing graph databases. Several mutation operators are proposed, and a tool for generating mutant Cypher queries from a given query is presented.
