Charlie Ray: Mutation Testing Better Than Coverage

Mutation testing is the idea that we can assess the completeness of a test suite by updating (or ‘mutating’) a single location in the code under test, and checking to make sure at least one of the existing tests fails. Building on Lukas Lazarek’s mutation framework for Racket, we apply mutation testing in two very different settings—the classroom, and the open-source software project—to see what kinds of benefit mutation testing might offer above and beyond the commonly-used test case coverage metric.
