Mutants, I don't hate them.
I just know what they can do.
How to do it?
Install Stryker from dotnet tools

Profit $$
Running stryker

- Different way to look at tests
- Slow
- Can't run it on solution
- Not many mutators yet
-
A lot of noise, has to be configured
Property Based Testing
What is it?
A lot of unit tests at once
Shrinking
The thing that QuickCheck does
How to do it?
You have to write some code
Learn FsCheck syntax
- Tests a lot of data points
- Random values can find bugs
- Tests a lot of data points
