[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7180) Investigate mutation testing for unit tests

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7180?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13991072#comment-13991072 ] 

Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7180:
-------------------------------------

I like this idea. We'd have to be careful it didn't introduce an unreasonable burden of plugging non-issues as it was introduced, but in the long run it could pay dividends.

> We might get some useful information from mutation testing tools, possibly PIT (http://pitest.org/). The basic idea is to seed faults in the code and check to see if the unit tests are able to catch them. If we can get this up and running, perhaps it could be run periodically on cassci.datastax.com.
