Mutation testing #2

Open drvinceknight opened 8 years ago

drvinceknight commented 8 years ago

Has anyone heard of mutation testing?

Heard it on a recent podcast episode: https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/63/validating-python-tests-with-mutation-testing

Here is an implementation in python (discussed in that podcast).

Very much so – that’s one of the contributions I wanted to bring to this paper. I have had a student do a fantastic FY project on it this year. James

Fantastic!

Now that I remind myself, that’s the purpose of the ‘tetsing tests’ chapter: to ask such questions. Now that the student has submitted, I’ll write some more there. James
