What is mutation testing and when can it be done?..

Answer / mercy

The basic idea of mutation testing is to seed the program
to be tested with errors, creating several mutants of the
original program. The program and its mutants are then run
interpretively on the test set. If the test set is
adequate, it is argued, it should be able to distinguish
between the program and its mutants.

How do you handle a test case when the test data created with an AGE field becomes invalid since the date of the system changes over time? For example, a person who could be a < 18 years old last month is now > 18 years and the whole scenario fails? Do you keep updating the test data or is there another creative solution here (besides changing the system date & time which can't be done as it is an Internet app)?

We can check many things in one test case, then Is it necessary to write separate test case for checking each functionality? Example : For Login Window --> Test Case is---> 1) Enter valid user id & password --> For this expected result --> 1) User should login. My question --> while executing above valid test case, we can expect more than one result such as "Visibility of password should be as ****" So Should I have to write separate test case for "Visibility of Password" OR Not? Please guide me properly.
