mutantdetection
Mutant detection is a critical process in software testing, particularly in the context of mutation testing. Mutation testing involves creating small modifications, or "mutants," to the original program to assess the quality of test cases. The goal is to determine if the test suite can detect these mutants, indicating that it is effective at identifying faults.
The process of mutant detection begins with the generation of mutants. This is typically done by systematically
Once mutants are generated, they are executed against the test suite. The test suite is designed to
Mutant detection is not without its challenges. The process can be computationally expensive, as each mutant
Despite these challenges, mutant detection is a valuable technique for improving software quality. By identifying weaknesses
