mutation_test 1.6.0

A command line application to measure the quality of your test cases by mutating your code and checking if your tests detect the changes.

1.6.0

• Added the option to exclude lines not covered by tests. You can pass a file with coverage information in the lcov format via the command line flag "--coverage".
• Added the (experimental) option to strings from the mutations via command line switch.
• Added a mutation that removes break statements from switches

1.5.1

• Fixed a bug that causes the mutation test to stop in case the mutation reduces the code size near the end of the file.

1.5.0

• Optional function arguments are no longer swapped
• If no test command is given, the program will try to infer it from pubspec.yaml
• A single invocation of the program will now always produce a single report named mutation-test in the given output directory

1.4.0

• Added junit/xunit style XML reports to conform to the standard for test tools. It should now be possible to upload the results in tools like Polarion.
• Performing a dry run will now generate the specified outputs. All mutations defined by the rules will be marked as undetected.
• Added optional "id" attribute to rules in the xml configuration file
• xml configuration file version increased to 1.1
• Added a column in the generated html report that shows the mutation pattern and id
• Require dart 3

1.3.4

• Improved mutation rules that switch function arguments
• Updated dependencies

1.3.3

• Improve builtin rules with operators like "+=". There should be less useless mutations that are always detected now.
• The <exclude> element in xml rule definitions now supports the exclusion of files by listing them as <file> element.

1.3.2

• Added builtin rules to swap arguments on function calls.
• Added a dark theme (prefers-color-scheme: dark) for html reports.

1.3.1

• Fixed bugs when creating reports.
• Added additional unit tests so that the files are listed in coverage metrics

1.3.0

• Files without mutations are now no longer reported as NaN % mutations
• Detected and mutations with timeouts are reported in the generated html
• Updated the builtin rules to not test for +-0 and to exclude ++ and --

1.2.2

• Fixed minor problems with the generated html files. Source code strings are escaped and a table was fixed.

1.2.1

• Renamed executable to "mutation_test" follow dart file conventions.
• Added exclusion rules for dart import and export statements in the default rule set.

1.2.0

• Html reports are prettier. The look of the files is inspired by the lcov reports.
• Running the program without any arguments no longer causes an error. Instead, the program will assume that you are using a dart project, so alle files in lib/ will be mutated and tested via dart test.

1.1.2

• Licenses of transitive dependencies are now also shown with argument "--about"

1.1.1

• All licenses are automatically collected and displayed via about
• The progress bars for file and total have the same length
• Archives should have correct layout for linux and mac

1.1.0

• Fixed bug on release creation
• Multiple rules can be provided via command line
• Input files can be source files and not just xml

1.0.0

• Initial version.
