Mutation testing with PIT and Descartes
Vincent Massol, Technical Director of XWiki SAS, wrote an article about a recent experimentation with Descartes, a mutation engine for PIT, in the framework of the STAMP project.
Here's an example of running Descartes on an XWiki module:

Using Docker and Jenkins to test configurations
XWiki SAS is part of the STAMP research project and one domain of this research is improving configuration testing.
In this article, Vincent Massol, Technical Director of XWiki SAS, suggests a new architecture that should allow XWiki to be tested on various configurations, including various supported databases and versions, various Servlet containers and versions, and Various Browsers and versions.

DevOps Puts A Huge Emphasis On Test Quality
While DevOps promises to drastically reduce delivery cycles, hasty deployment entails the hazard of propagating a regression bug into production due to lack of sufficient testing. Statement coverage is the most popular metric to determine the adequacy of a test suite. However, this metric is known to be a poor indicator of a test suite's capacity to detect bugs.
At EclipseCon Europe next October, STAMP project coordinator Benoit Baudry will introduce and illustrate the benefits of another metric for test suite quality: the mutation score. Click on the boarding pass above for more on what to expect from STAMP in Ludwisgburg.
Why adopt a new testing suite? Share our Commit Strip to convince the developers and experts around you to give STAMP a try :)
