How I Improved the Tests for RestAssured.Net Using Mutation Testing by Bas Dijkstra

When building and maintaining RestAssured.Net, an open source library that makes writing HTTP API tests in C# easy and fun, Bas Dijkstra relied on a suite of acceptance tests to catch bugs and validate new features. But how much can you really trust your tests? Many teams still turn to code coverage as the primary measure of test quality—but as we know, coverage alone doesn’t tell the full story. In his talk (with a live demo!) at the 2025 OnlineTestconf, Bas Dijkstra will show you how mutation testing can provide deeper insights into the effectiveness of your automated tests. Using RestAssured.Net’s real-world source code and test suite, we’ll explore how my tests once fooled me into believing everything was working perfectly—when it wasn’t. You’ll see mutation testing in action, discover how it helped Mr. Dijkstra strengthen both his tests and his application code, and walk away with practical tips for applying this often-overlooked technique in your own projects. Whether you’re new to mutation testing or looking to level up your quality practices, this session will give you the tools to better trust your tests. Main Takeaways: Testing your tests is an important but often overlooked activity in automation Mutation testing is a powerful technique to help you test and improve your tests Contrary to what some people believe, mutation testing works not just for unit tests
