Answer / nitin verma hcl
HI,
In mutation testing we create a duplicate copy of the code
that is called as mutant and do some changes in the codes in
the mutant copy and then we test and check weather the
changes are been detected or not and whether it is creating
any effect on the original copy of the code or not.
If we change the code of the program (this process is called
mutation) and we run the mutated program (mutant) against
the test suite, we will have two possible scenarios:
1. The results of the program were affected by the code
change and the test suite detects it. If this happens, the
mutant is called a killed mutant.
2. The results of the program are not changed and the test
suite does not detect the mutation. The mutant is called an
equivalent mutant.
Plz correct me if i m wrong...
Regards..

Answer / uma
Mutation testing is used to test the quality of your test
suite. This is done by mutating certain statements in your
source code and checking if your test code is able to find
the errors.

mutation testing is a testing where our goal is to mutaint
s/w fail.
prepare the test cases & compare it with mutant, whenever
our test case is match with mutant s/w that we can say
mutation testing is completed.
whenever, our test cases are not match with mutation s/w,
we can fail it.
