wat is mutation testing

Answer Posted / nitin verma

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 the
changes are being detected then it is called as killed mutant.

Plz correct me if i m wrong..
