Hey engineer here. Mutation testing may not be a familiar concept. To put it simply, it tells you how effective your unit test cases are at catching faults by injecting faults into your codebase.<p>If you are interested in learning more about mutation testing and how big tech companies use it, read:<p>- State of Mutation Testing at Google: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.google&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;state-of-mutation-testing-at-google&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.google&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;state-of-mutation-testing-at-go...</a> - Industrial Application of Mutation Testing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;homes.cs.washington.edu&#x2F;~rjust&#x2F;publ&#x2F;industrial_mutation_icst_2018.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;homes.cs.washington.edu&#x2F;~rjust&#x2F;publ&#x2F;industrial_mutat...</a> - LLM-based Mutation Testing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;2406.09843" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;2406.09843</a> - Medium Blog on Mutahunter: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;codeintegrity-engineering&#x2F;transforming-qa-mutahunter-and-the-power-of-llm-enhanced-mutation-testing-18c1ea19add8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;codeintegrity-engineering&#x2F;transforming-qa...</a> - Short Demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8h4zpeK6LOA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8h4zpeK6LOA</a><p>Feel free to ask me any questions. My wish is to get mutation testing widely spread!
