PIT-HOM is an extension of Pitest for Higher order mutation.
Pitest (aka PIT) is a state of the art mutation testing system for Java and the JVM.
Read all about it at http://pitest.org
##Using PIT-HOM PIT-HOM can be used exactly like Pitest (see here. It adds two options to Pitest's configuration: the "hom" option, that takes a list of orders of mutation to run (defaults to "1"), and the "mutantProcessingMethod" that specifies how mutants are run (can take values "all", "stream" or "stream-batch", defaults to "all").
Pitest is mainly the work of Henry Coles but has benefited from contributions from many others.
Notable contributions not visible here as they were made before this code was migrated to github include
- Nicolas Rusconi - Ant Task
- Struan Kerr-Liddell - Improvements to html report
- Stephan Pendorf - Multiple improvments including improved mutators
Although PIT does not incorporate any code from the Jumble project (http://jumble.sourceforge.net/), the Jumble codebase was used as a guide when developing some aspects of PIT.
