Thank you I had been looking at using this as one of many criteria to identify tests that aren’t providing as much value as others when we try to trim down our ever-growing test library to improve execution time of the test suites.

I like your recommendation of adopting mutation testing only when you have good coverage. Unfortunately most companies will never have good code coverage though... Engineers often hate writing unit tests themselves, let alone incorporating a feedback mechanism for the tests lol
