Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests
|
||
|
|
to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and
|
||
|
|
your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it
|
||
|
|
doesn't do anything.
|

|
It's like hiring a white-hat hacker to try to break into your server
|
||
|
|
and making sure you detect it. You learn the most by trying to break
|
||
|
|
things and watching the outcome in an act of unit test sadism.
