what is port testing and mutation testing?..

Answer / mfsi_priyankaa

Testing submitted updates or new ports which are posted on
the ports mailing list. By doing this you reduce the latency
of commits and also increase the number of ports to be
committed (many ports are not committed because of lack of
testing!).

Mutation Testing: Testing in which two or more variants of a
component or system are executed with the same inputs, the
outputs compared, and analyzed in cases of discrepancies.
