How To Test C# Unit Tests With Mutation Testing

Executing the very short development cycle of test-driven development requires discipline and practice. However, the .NET ecosystem offers a wide variety of tools to support authoring a high-quality suite of unit tests, defending production code against defects.

In this session, Stefan will show how to further improve the effectiveness of C# test suites by testing our unit tests with mutation testing, and how to continuously integrate it with Azure Pipelines/GitHub Actions.

This is so cool. Basically we are checking the quality of the unit tests... will add this as part of our CICD pipeline.

Also would it pass the max and min values for parameters? For example in the addition method to check if it overflowed?
