Mutation Testing
Mutation Testing is a fault-injection technique developed by DeMillo, Lipton, and Sayward in 1978 that evaluates test suite effectiveness by introducing small, deliberate bugs (mutations) into source code and checking if tests catch them. A test suite that kills (detects) all mutants is stronger than one that achieves high code coverage without killing mutants.
