This course covers the following learning outcomes and goals: understanding complex logic testing, achieving 100% branch coverage, creating a strong test suite, implementing example-based and property-based testing, conducting mutation testing, detecting mutants, and traversing trees.
The course teaches individual skills such as defining mutations, summoning mutants, running experiments, generating HTML reports, and handling non-compiling mutants.
The teaching method includes theoretical explanations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises.
The intended audience for this course is software developers, particularly those interested in testing methodologies and tools in the context of Scala programming.
