What is mutation testing and when can it be done?

Answer Posted / 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.
