  • The Big Unit Test Misunderstanding
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Mar 2022
    It is not hard to isolate and stub a database the problem is you will not catch a lot of errors, e.g. writing a 40 char string into a VCHAR(10), DateTime conversations, ...

    In Ruby on Rails it is quite common to use a real database in the unit tests. Even before containers came out and it is still fast (yes, less than 1 second).

    In rails you use the same database instance for all the tests, so you do not have spin up a database instance for every case. Instead you use a database cleaner.

    There also exists a JS implementation: https://github.com/khaiql/dbcleaner

    hi, is there a way to integrate this command https://github.com/zimmski/go-mutesting with neovim, and to run it on every buffer save.

    I think this is the most up to date mutation testing library for Go: https://github.com/zimmski/go-mutesting
  • Mutmut: A Python mutation testing system

    Mutesting has been my "new favorite thing" for a while. I hope that mutation scores replace flawed metrics like statement coverage in the future. Sqlite's test suite[0] is probably my favorite example of its power.

    I personally use go-mutesting[1] with my Go projects, which is a bit basic but gets the job done. Mutmut might be worth investigating for when I work with Python.
