Mutational (mutation) analysis is presented as a way to check the quality and robustness of test suites and application architecture by introducing small code changes (mutations) and ensuring tests detect them. The talk explains mutation testing theory, how to implement it for .NET, shows a tool for performing the analysis, and demonstrates common mutation types with real-world examples.
