On the one hand, mutation testing is an important concept that more people should know about and use.
On the other, I fail to see how AI is helpful here, as mutation testing is an issue completely solvable by algorithms.
The need to use external LLMs like OpenAI is also a big no from me.
I think I’ll stick to Pitest for my Java code.
As a dev, I think agile works best when there’s an ongoing conversation with the users, and I usually have to fight with management to get to speak to those actual users.
Why aren’t LRG releasing all these classics on GOG?
It’s no less possible than for the tooth fairy, or Santa Claus to exist.
Sure, you keep telling yourself that over the sound of denying the Tiananmen Square massacre, cozying up to Russia, everything about Taiwan, the Uyghurs and the sweatshops.
I’m just going to stay in Europe, if you don’t mind.
No one claimed the west is perfect. The claim that other parts of the world are (or would be, if only that pesky west didn’t interfere) is, however, ridiculous.
What you did there is derail the conversation from the fact that you claimed that “The West” is the only source of misery.
You’re a troll and I won’t engage further.
That’s a straw man, as I never argued that there were no western influences.
It’s at best naive to think that only western influences led to atrocities, though.
This is a very naive observation which assumes that any atrocities commited in China or Africa are strictly the fault of the west…
Regarding mutation testing, you don’t write any “tests for your test”. Rather, a mutation testing tool automatically modifies (“mutates”) your production code to see if the modification will be caught by any of your tests.
That way you can see how well your tests are written and how well-tested parts of your application are in general. Its extremely useful.
