@jessew what the skibidi is mutation testing
@_r@donotsta.re it's when you write some functionality and you write tests that intentionally change your app's code in some way to check if the test fails
you can do this with a dozen different "variants" per functionality, it's pretty effective for finding complex bugs or stuff that isn't tested properly
@jessew that seems silly. I feel like coverage already finds 90% of potential issues with tests
i've got mutation testing, VM testing, fake database testing, performance testing, code quality testing, unit testing, end-to-end testing, all the fucking testing dude
it catches so many bugs it's hilarious
