Mutation testing image

I see mutation testing as a process for thoroughly testing our tests to ensure that we can really rely on them. My recommendation is to do mutation testing every time you create or edit a test. You should also review your automated tests making sure it is still relevant. You should do this regularly. You'll need to make sure that tests keeps up to datewith changes to the software. My process for mutation testing involves going through all the steps of a test and listing all the ways each individual step could fail. I then attempt to simulate these failures by either changing the state of the software before the test is run, running the test in debug mode, and then pausing the test using breakpoints to try and simulate a failure, changing the software at that point, or adjusting the test code itself to check the accuracy. Another reason I find mutation testing useful is because it allows me to design the tests to give useful messages if certain failures have occurred.
