Stryker: A Powerful Tool for Improving Your Unit Tests
Betatalks #108
Yvo and Bram discuss Stryker, a tool for mutation testing that can help improve unit tests. They introduce Stryker, explaining that it's a framework that can mutate code during testing to identify gaps in test coverage. Yvo shows a demo project, installing Stryker and running it on the existing unit tests. The report generated by Stryker reveals some surviving mutants, indicating missing test cases. They discuss the benefits of using Stryker, such as catching missed tests that traditional code coverage metrics may not identify, and the importance of integrating it into the development workflow, potentially as a periodic quality check.
