What is mutation testing?..

Answer / venurao

Mutation testing is used to test the quality of your test
suite. This is done by mutating certain statements in your
source code and checking if your test code is able to find
the errors. However, mutation testing is very expensive to
run, especially on very large applications. There is a
mutation testing tool, Jester, which can be used to run
mutation tests on Java code. Jester looks at specific areas
of your source code, for example: forcing a path through an
if statement, changing constant values, and changing
Boolean values

What is mutation testing?..

Answer / mfsi_krushnas

Mutation testing (or Mutation analysis or Program mutation)
is a method of software testing, which involves modifying
programs' source code or byte code in small ways.[1] A test
suite that does not detect and reject the mutated code is
considered defective. These so-called mutations, are based
on well-defined mutation operators that either mimic typical
programming errors (such as using the wrong operator or
variable name) or force the creation of valuable tests (such
as driving each expression to zero).
