What is mutation testing

Answer Posted / sreenivasu

Mutation means a change in a program. Programmers are
performing changes in programs to estimate correctness of
testing coverage.

For eg: one test passed, then apply certain change in that
particular program and test it... if the result is failed
then we can say it as a mutation testing i.e a change
should affect the result ..
