QuickCheck is a library for random testing of program properties.
|
|
The programmer provides a specification of the program, in the form of
|
|
properties which functions should satisfy, and QuickCheck then tests that the
|
|
properties hold in a large number of randomly generated cases.
|
|
Specifications are expressed in Haskell, using combinators provided by
|
|
QuickCheck. QuickCheck provides combinators to define properties, observe the
|
|
distribution of test data, and define test data generators.
|
|
|
|
Most of QuickCheck's functionality is exported by the main "Test.QuickCheck"
|
|
module. The main exception is the monadic property testing library in
|
|
"Test.QuickCheck.Monadic".
|
|
|
|
If you are new to QuickCheck, you can try looking at the following resources:
|
|
|
|
* The <http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/QuickCheck/manual.html official QuickCheck manual>.
|
|
It's a bit out-of-date in some details and doesn't cover newer QuickCheck features,
|
|
but is still full of good advice.
|
|
* <https://begriffs.com/posts/2017-01-14-design-use-quickcheck.html>,
|
|
a detailed tutorial written by a user of QuickCheck.
|
|
|
|
The <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/quickcheck-instances quickcheck-instances>
|
|
companion package provides instances for types in Haskell Platform packages
|
|
at the cost of additional dependencies.
