What is mutation testing?

Answer Posted / 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).
