5.9Hands-On Exercise

  1. Calculate your project's code coverage. Now review 5 tests in the covered area -- are they genuinely testing behavior or just executing code?
  2. Run mutation testing (Stryker, PIT, or mutmut) on one critical module. Compare the mutation score to the code coverage. What is the gap?
  3. Create a requirement traceability matrix for your current sprint's stories. Are any requirements untested?
  4. Calculate the risk-weighted coverage for your project. Which high-risk area has the lowest coverage?
  5. Identify one metric your team tracks that might be subject to Goodhart's Law. Propose a companion metric that would expose gaming.
