    [$] 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.
