Hire Mutants to Build your Test Suite!

Do you know about Mutation Testing? (If not, see my talk on that!) Did you know, it can be useful even if you don't have tests yet? That's right, it can help you *build* your test suite in the first place! This talk will walk you through the process, demonstrated on everybody's favorite interview whiteboard challenge, FizzBuzz!

The FizzBuzz code will not be livecoded, but the tests will be. I will run a mutation testing tool, then have the audience pick a mutant and devise a test to "kill" it, repeating until there are no more surviving mutants.
