So, I just discovered this is a thing: https://pitest.org/
Anyone heard of it? The goal is not so different from PBT but the method is quite different

Sandy Maguire

yeah! did some of this at uni

Sandy Maguire

i really like it as a measure of code quality

Sandy Maguire

"will my code explode in an obvious way if i accidentally use the wrong variable name?"

Sandy Maguire

pretty sweet WRT the fallibility of humans

Same as Sandy, it was a nice and different way of thinking about tests and a different way to catch bugs

toxicafunk

nice! was a bit skeptical but will give it a try since you guys had good experiences with it
