Mutation Testing in Python with Cosmic Ray - Austin Bingham - NDC TechTown 2024

This talk was recorded at NDC TechTown in Kongsberg, Norway. #ndctechtown #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: https://ndcconferences.com https://ndctechtown.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media! https://www.facebook.com/ndcconferences https://twitter.com/NDC_Conferences https://www.instagram.com/ndc_conferences/ #testing #python #code In this workshop we’ll see how to use Cosmic Ray to run mutation testing on your Python code. We’ll cover everything from installing Cosmic Ray to executing tests to analyzing the results. The goal of the workshop is to get you to the point where you can independently configure and run Cosmic Ray on your own code. The main body of the workshop will comprise running Cosmic Ray on a provided project. This will ensure that we can see all of the important elements of the system while avoiding the complexities of working with unknown code bases. With that said, if you want to try running Cosmic Ray on your own code as well, we can try that, too. If time permits, we can also look at topics like creating new mutation operators and integrating Cosmic Ray into continuous build systems. Ideally, we’ll work through the main portion of the workshop with enough time for students to explore Cosmic Ray on their own, so come prepared to experiment and explore!
