Code coverage vs mutation testing.
You should only really care about mutation testing if your code coverage is relatively high. If your code coverage is 20% then mutation testing should not be your priority. We use mutation testing (mutant for Ruby, pitest for Java). mutant is pretty hassle-free but only works when running under MRI so if you use jruby you are out of luck. pitest was far less easy to integrate.

Semantic blind spot in Ruby case statement
mutant shows redundant semantics, why we'd like to reduce them is perhaps better explained at https://github.com/mbj/mutant#what-is-mutant
What are some alternatives?
Ruby-JMeter - A Ruby based DSL for building JMeter test plans
timecop - A gem providing "time travel", "time freezing", and "time acceleration" capabilities, making it simple to test time-dependent code. It provides a unified method to mock Time.now, Date.today, and DateTime.now in a single call.
Spring - Rails application preloader
Parallel Tests - Ruby: 2 CPUs = 2x Testing Speed for RSpec, Test::Unit and Cucumber
Wrong - Wrong provides a general assert method that takes a predicate block. Assertion failure messages are rich in detail.
vcr - Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
rspec-side_effects - RSpec extension for checking the side effects of your specifications.
R Spec - A minimalist RSpec clone with all the essentials. [Moved to: https://github.com/cyril/r_spec-clone.rb]
