hoimin
hoimin is a mutation-testing CLI for Python. It makes small changes to copies of your source and runs your tests to find behavior they do not check.
Install
uv tool install --python 3.14 hoimin
Wheels require Python 3.14 and support macOS Apple Silicon, Linux x86_64
(glibc), and Windows x86_64. Run uv tool update-shell if hoimin is not on
PATH, then open a new shell.
Quick start
From your project directory, use a Python environment with your test dependencies
installed. Replace src/calc.py with the file you want to check:
hoimin run --root . --file src/calc.py --allow-best-effort-memory --format human -- python -m pytest -q
Everything after -- is your project's test command. hoimin runs it once as a
baseline, then for each selected mutation. Inspect surviving mutations to find
missing assertions or test cases. --allow-best-effort-memory permits execution
on macOS and Linux without delegated cgroup limits; see the
resource limits.
See the usage reference
for selectors, plan/verify workflows, reports, and configuration, or run hoimin --help.
