Mutation Testing for Ethereum Smart Contracts

vertigo

Vertigo is a mutation testing framework designed to work specifically for smart contracts. This mutation testing framework implements a range of mutation operators that are either selected from previous works or tailored to solidity.

Quick Start Guide

To install vertigo, execute the following command:

pip3 install --user eth-vertigo

You can now run vertigo on a truffle project with the following command (assuming you have a development network configured in yourtruffle-config.js):

vertigo run --network development

Depending on your environment it might be required to specify the location of the truffle executable:

vertigo run --network development --truffle <node_dir>/bin/truffle 

There are a few additional parameters available that allow you to tweak the execution of vertigo:

$ vertigo run --help                                                                                                                                                ⬡ 9.11.2 [±master ●●▴]
