Kill the mutants, protect your code!
Alex Khaerov (~hayorov) |
Description:
Mutation testing is an old idea that hasn't spread enough but it’s fascinating. The idea is that your test suite should catch any bugs in your code, so what if we artificially insert bugs into the code, and see if the test suite catches them? In my speech, I'll describe the concept of such type of testing, basic issue's overview (what and when to mutate) and how to solve them with modern tooling of the Python ecosystem. Special attention will be paid to the time-consuming problem and how to overcome it.
