Go Tests Green? Mutest Proves They're Full of Holes
CI greenlights your AI-generated Go code. Coverage? 100%. But swap >= for > and tests still pass. Enter mutest: the tool exposing what your suite misses.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- AI-generated Go tests hit high coverage but routinely miss boundary bugs like quantity == 10.
- mutest runs mutation testing in minutes, not hours, making it viable for every PR.
- Expect mutation testing to become standard as AI code gen surges — think fuzzing 2.0.
