mutation analysis in software engineering
Mutation analysis in software engineering is a technique used to assess the quality and effectiveness of test cases by intentionally introducing small changes (mutations) into a program's code, and then running the test cases to determine if they can detect these mutations. It helps identify weaknesses in the test suite and ensures that it is capable of detecting errors and faults in the software.
