summary
Defines the idea of mutation testing and explains how mutation testing works in the Java ecosystem, including how mutated versions of code (mutants) are created and checked against the test suite. Compares tool support for Java with that for JavaScript and C#, and discusses compatibility with practices like TDD and how mutation testing reveals test quality beyond coverage metrics to help develop more effective tests.
