@glloyd@fosstodon.org @dascandy@infosec.exchange Right. I was so enthusiastic about mutation testing after watching Seph Debusser's talk from NDC TechTown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-5_M8qZXaE But then I kind of forgot, I guess. I imagine it's great when writing new tests to ensure that you really do cover what you intend, but I fear that trying it on (in this case 12 year) old code, may be more of a time sink than value? Experiences?
