Abstract	As a powerful means of measuring a test set, mutation testing has been applied to program-based testing for a long time. However, with the development of formal specification technique, the formal specifications also play an important role in software testing. For measuring the quality of the specification-based test cases, researchers provide some mutation operators for the logic predicates. With the emergence of the object-oriented formal specifications, these mutation operators cannot completely model the faults arise in an object-oriented specification and from the misunderstanding of the specification. This paper investigates the faults that may occur in the object-oriented specifications, and gives a set of mutation operators for the Object-Z specifications to model these faults. These mutation operators provide an approach to measuring specification-based test cases and validating the Object-Z specifications.
