Feature: Add Mutation Based Testing

[dyga01]

Description: Both the current and future versions of Execexam should include a better testing structure that includes mutation-based testing. This will allow us to be more confident in our test cases and code.

Expected Behavior: After we are able to integrate the new mutation-based testing, we should be able to see a mutation score for our code. Hopefully, implementing new mutation-based testing will help us discover more bugs in our code.

Actual Behavior: We currently have no mutation-based testing strategy for execexam.

Proposed Solution: Implementing new mutation-based testing using libraries such as mutmut or mutatest. We could do this in our current test files.

Hi @dyga01 what is the priority for this task?

[dyga01]

@gkapfham I think that our prioroty should be increasing coverage to be >90% and then we should prioritize this task.

Hi @dyga01 how many weeks off is the resolution of this issue?

[dyga01]

@gkapfham I am planning on switching to work on a feature in the coming weeks, so I anticipate that I or some other team members could revisit this issue towards the end of the month.

Thanks @dyga01, I encourage you to first work on a feature/bug fix for this tool before you work on another testing task --- I think that it would be rewarding for you to ship this type of work to production. Let me know what you think!
