boggart is a microservices-based service for mutation testing of code written
in arbitrary languages. boggart is built on top of the small-but-mighty Rooibos,
a language-independent platform for source code transformation.

## Installation

To ensure isolation, we strongly recommend that users install boggart to a
dedicated
[virtual environment](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/):

```
$ python3.6 -m venv env-boggart
$ . env-boggart/bin/activate
```

To download and install the latest stable release from PyPI:

```
(env-boggart) $ pip install --upgrade boggart
```

Or, to build from source:

```
(env-boggart) $ cd boggart
(env-boggart) $ pip install --upgrade .
```

## Supported Languages

Currently, boggart comes prepackaged with a collection of mutation operators
that target programs written in the following languages:

* C
* C++

## Extending boggart

### Adding support for other programming languages

```
...

languages:
...
- name: php
