Summary: Trail of Bits published a September 18, 2025 post by Guillermo Larregay describing mutation testing, which introduces bugs into code systematically to check whether a test suite catches them. The post recommends blockchain developers use the technique to measure test suite effectiveness and find bugs traditional testing can miss.

Why it matters: A test suite that passes tells you nothing about the bugs it never probed; mutation testing is the measure of that blind spot, and the post points it at blockchain contracts where missed bugs carry direct financial exposure.
