Answer / anand kumar

Mutaion means a change.
While u r doing unit testing u'l prerpare some unit
testcases and test the program. After that to estimate the
testing u have conducted u'll introduce some mutations
(changes) in ur program/unit and repeat the same tests then
few test should give wrong results as u use the same data
and test procedure then it shows the completeness of ur
test cases for ur unit test. if ur test passes even after
making these mutations meens u r not test all flows of ur
program which implies that ur test casae r not completely
tests the unit.
