How to remove specific classes from getting mutated

[Anish Paul]

Hi

So i have given a general location of all my class files to get mutated, but there are some classes which do not have appropriate test cases. Is there any way i can remove these classes (without the testcases) from the original location so that it wont get mutated. I am kinda new to this topic.
Like is it possible for me to use <exclude> tag remove these classes.
Thanks

I believe PIT uses coverage analysis to see which classes are worth mutating. So if there are no relevant tests, it won't mutate them.

but i do get cases where mutation coverage fails because there are no relevant test cases for classes.

PIT does use coverage data to target tests, however it will still create mutants where there is no coverage. These mutants will be given a status of NO_COVERAGE so they can be easily distinguished from mutants that are covered by tests, but not killed. Processing these mutants has a cost approaching zero.

Classes can be excluded from the analysis using the excludedClasses element at the same level as targetClasses. InScopeClasses was removed as an option some time ago.

Hopefully this is all explained in :-
