Talk:Mutation testing

Rename the article

Wouldn´t be "Mutation testing" a better name for this article? Andreas Kaufmann 19:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I renamed the article from 'Mutation analysys' to 'Mutation testing', since it is a more common term for this testing method. Andreas Kaufmann 13:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with this: mutation analysis is different to mutation testing. Mutation testing is generating automatic testcases. Mutation analysis is defined in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.115.3.170 (talk) 15:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term Mutation testing is much more ofen used as a synonym to Mutation analysis and not in a narrow sense "generating automatic testcases". Just as the term software testing is used to specify a sub-filed in software engineering and not just as the process of creating tests for software.

Who watches the watchmen?

"Verifying the tests" is an instance of the deeper philosophical problem named "Who watches the watchmen?". So I added an interdisciplinary link to Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? in the text of the article. --Antonielly (talk) 18:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
