[$] A new approach to validating test suites

Date:
Tue, 29 Oct 2024 17:01:12 +0000

Description:
The first program that Martin Pool ever wrote, he said, had bugs; the ones 
he's writing
now most likely have bugs too. The talk Pool gave at RustConf this year was 
about a way to try
to write programs with fewer bugs. He has developed a tool called 
cargo-mutants that highlights gaps in test coverage by identifying
functions that can be broken without causing any tests to fail.
This can be a valuable complement to other testing techniques,
he explained.
