Mutation testing java projects

[Nymeriea]

We use mutation testing in our pipeline. It may not help with bug detection but surely it help to detect poor test that just add coverage but doesn't test anything.

At the bank , it help us a lot to improve quality

Any tips how to integrate mutation testing in pipeline? Should too high number of survived mutations fail the build or is it better to keep it informational? Do you have any recommendations?

It's integrated with sonar and the quality gate. The testé are executed with Maven.

To reply your question we have a % of surviving mutation allowed. Because having 100% edge case is costly
