What both publish
| Fact | Infection | Mutatest |
|---|---|---|
| Parallel execution | Tests for mutated code can run in parallel with the --threads option, including automatic CPU-core detection with --threads=max. | Multiprocessing is supported on Python 3.8; parallelization is not supported on Python 3.7. |
| Purpose | Infection mutates PHP source code and reports changes that a test suite fails to catch. | Mutatest is a diagnostic command-line tool for assessing test coverage by checking whether tests detect small code mutations. |

Pick Infection if…
Infection suits PHP developers who want to assess whether their test suites detect code changes, including within CI builds. It is especially relevant to projects using one of its supported test frameworks.
Pick Mutatest if…
Mutatest suits Python developers who want to check whether their tests detect code changes, especially when they need mutation thresholds in automated runs. It is intended for diagnostic use rather than repeated runs across an entire codebase on every commit.
