Dear Community,

We would like to announce a new Squeak Community Project by the Software
Architecture Group, Hasso-Plattner-Institute. Our new MutationEngine
is a library
to inject random modifications (mutations) in order to insert defects
into Smalltalk
programs and to make them crash. With that, you can automatically check and
evaluate the effectivity of your debugging and testing approaches. The
MutationEngine also provides a safe clean up at the end so that your Squeak
system is not affected after a critical mutation.

A description, setup instructions and a tutorial can be found in the following
Wiki article:

Best regards,
Anton
