As members of a software development team, we spend a lot of time building products that our end users (hopefully) enjoy using. We also spend a significant amount of time performing testing on these products, as well as on writing automation to support that testing. And the higher the degree of automation in the building, deployment and delivery process, the more trust we place in the results of these automated tests.

On Test Automation is a platform dedicated to software testing, test automation, and quality assurance. Readers can find articles, tutorials, and resources on topics such as test automation frameworks, testing strategies, and continuous integration pipelines. Additionally, they can learn about software testing tools, test-driven development (TDD), and agile testing methodologies.

On Test Automation

Mutation testing deliberately injects changes into product code to verify whether automated tests can detect them. Teams should start by selecting important code sections, identifying covering tests, configuring tools like Stryker or PITest, and analyzing results to improve test suites. Run mutation testing periodically outside build pipelines since it's time-consuming and requires human analysis. This approach becomes especially valuable for validating LLM-generated tests, ensuring test suites can actually catch behavioral changes.
