We present DaMAT, a tool that implements data-driven mutation analysis. In contrast to traditional code-driven mutation analysis tools it mutates (i.e., modifies) the data ex-changed by components instead of the source of the software under test. Such an approach helps ensure that test suites appropriately exercise components interoperability - essential for safety-critical cyber-physical systems. A user-provided fault model drives the mutation process. We have successfully evalu-ated DaMAT on software controlling a microsatellite and a set of libraries used in deployed CubeSats. A demo video of DaMAT is available at https://youtu.be/sSMS2xWCj84
