Mutation testing with Kotlin. Short introduction

I'd give my left pinky-toe to have this work in an Android application or library

[Sam]

Does that not work for android? I've not tried but reading the article it looks as though it should work with the jvm no?

[Johann Pardanaud]

Great article! Maybe you could add syntax highlighting on the embedded Gists?

[PoisonedYouth]

Thanks. Yes you're right. Can use the embedded code functionality for all the examples.

[Johann Pardanaud]

The gists are fine, just tell Github what language is used on each gist and you will have syntax highlighting enabled

[PoisonedYouth]

Finished. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

the runtime is increasing very fast with every new productive code that is written

in the org I work with, we use mutation testing a lot and I can confirm this statement from the blog post. Especially for large code bases with lots of tests. We had runtime up to 20 mins. What we did in that case was to only mutation test the really algorithmically-heavy code ("when you have a lot of branches, it will be mutation tested" 🙂 )

[PoisonedYouth]

That's a good hint. I also did this in my past projects. Limit code for mutation for the really important part or the one newly developed.
