Abstract :
The Method of Manufactured Solutions is introduced for Computational Electromagnetics in three-dimensions. It is shown by way of Mutation Testing that the method is effective in detecting numerous coding errors. The application of the method to three-dimensions is discussed and meshing relevant to showing theoretical convergence is explained. It is found that certain meshing strategies are more appropriate at initial error assessment and that typical meshing strategies are more appropriate when testing different versions of a code.
