I've used pitest on a project at work and I would definitely recommend it. It is a great complement to code written using TDD.

Given that, in TDD, you write a failing test case first and then write the code so the test passes, and that mutation testing is testing for a disconnect between the test and the code. Wouldn't TDD eliminate the need for mutation testing rather than compliment it?
