genotoxic
Genotoxic
Combines mutation testing and necessist (test statement removal) with code graph analysis to triage findings into actionable categories: false positives, missing unit tests, and fuzzing targets.
When to Use
- After mutation testing reveals survived mutants that need triage
- Identifying where unit tests would have the highest impact
- Finding functions that need fuzz harnesses instead of unit tests
- Prioritizing test improvements using data flow context
- Filtering out harmless mutants from actionable ones
- Finding unnecessary test statements that indicate weak assertions (necessist)
When NOT to Use
- Codebase has no existing test suite (write tests first)
- Pure documentation or configuration changes
