PIT

State of the art mutation testing system for the JVM

About PIT

A mutation testing system for Java and the JVM that inserts faults into bytecode and measures how well tests detect them, integrating with Maven, Gradle and common build tools. Its open development model means documentation, plugins and community support are publicly available, and organisations can contribute fixes upstream instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap. For many teams it becomes long-lived infrastructure: simple to back up, straightforward to automate and independent of per-seat pricing as usage grows steadily.
