@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
@_r@donotsta.re ideally you want close to 100%, not 90%
it's a similar concept to fuzzing which is also very effective

How does it work im interested
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
