Implements a mutation testing system that inserts bugs into code, runs tests against mutated versions, and reports which mutations survive—indicating gaps in test coverage.
Implementation
MutationTestingService: Core service providing 5 mutation operators (ARITHMETIC, COMPARISON, LOGICAL, UNARY, RETURN) with 21 mutation types. Generates mutants, executes tests, calculates mutation scores.
IPC Integration: 5 handlers expose mutation testing to renderer process (
mutation:getOperators,mutation:generateMutants,mutation:runTests,mutation:getReport,mutation:reset)Test Coverage: 23 tests covering mutant generation, test execution, score calculation, and edge cases
Usage
From Electron renderer:
