Bridging Theory and Practice in Java Testing Frameworks: Mutation testing effectiveness using JUnit 5 and PIT
Abstract
This article examines mutation testing effectiveness using JUnit 5 and PIT within the context of Java Testing Frameworks. Drawing on field case studies, we propose a framework for java testing frameworks and its implications for practitioners. Results indicate measurable improvements in stakeholder satisfaction and offer actionable recommendations for organizational rollout.
