NAME

App::Test::Generator::Mutator - Generate Mutation Tests

VERSION

Version 0.29

DESCRIPTION

App::Test::Generator::Mutator is a mutation engine that programmatically alters Perl source files to evaluate the effectiveness of a project's test suite. It analyzes modules, generates systematic code mutations (such as conditional inversions, logical operator changes, and other behavioral tweaks), and applies them within an isolated workspace so tests can be executed safely against each modified variant. By tracking which mutants are "killed" (cause tests to fail) versus those that "survive" (tests still pass), the module enables calculation of a mutation score, providing a quantitative measure of how well the test suite detects unintended behavioral changes.
