Rust Mutation Testing with cargo-mutants: Finding Gaps in Test Suites

A practical two-hour session on Rust Mutation Testing with cargo-mutants, focused on Finding Gaps in Test Suites. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Mutation Testing with cargo-mutants
• Apply Finding Gaps in Test Suites in a small working example
• Identify the testing and release checks needed before production use

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
