🔪 Integrate Mutant for True Mutation Testing​
Mutation testing ensures your specs catch unintended code changes by applying mutations and verifying failures. Use mutant-rspec to complement coverage tools and reveal blind spots.
# Gemfile
group :development, :test do
gem 'mutant-rspec', require: false
end
Configure .mutant.yml
:
requires:
- './spec/spec_helper.rb'
integration:
rspec: true
jobs:
- {}
Run mutation analysis:
bundle exec mutant --include lib --require my_app -r 'MyApp::Runner' -j4 Calculator#add
Example:
# lib/calculator.rb
class Calculator
def add(a, b)
a + b
end
end
# spec/calculator_spec.rb
RSpec.describe Calculator do
it { expect(subject.add(2, 3)).to eq(5) }
end
Mutant will try to invert +
to detect missing edge-case specs, guiding you to write more robust tests.
