Huge shoutout to Browserstack, our Exclusive sponsor for all community events and Premier sponsor for Conferences. We thank them for supporting this Event.

Key Takeaways:
Code coverage alone is not good enough as an indicator of the quality of our tests
Mutation testing is a powerful way to get valuable insights into the quality of our tests
You'll get a working code base with examples of how to improve an existing code base and its tests, driven by mutation testing

About the Topic -
To be useful as a safety net and change detector in our software development efforts, it is of vital importance that our tests are reliable, useful and have the capability to detect (unwanted) changes in our code. In other words, we might want to test our tests!

In this session, I'll give an introduction to the concept of what is mutation testing, a technique, supported by tools, to give you insight into the quality of your tests. In a live coding session, we'll inspect an existing code base and its tests, use mutation testing to find flaws in the tests and improve our tests along the way.

I'll use examples in Java, using JUnit and Pitest, but the concepts are applicable to other mutation testing tools and programming languages just as well.
