Proptest

Proptest is a property testing framework (the family of which QuickCheck is perhaps most well-known) inspired by Hypothesis. It allows to test that certain properties of your code hold for arbitrary inputs, and if a failure is found, automatically finds the minimal test case to reproduce the problem. Unlike QuickCheck, generation and shrinking is defined on a per-value basis instead of per-type, which makes it much more flexible and simplifies composition.

For a full introduction and examples, see the documentation.

Status

In my personal usage, everything works pretty well, though the crate itself has a few rough edges.

There may be breaking changes when "impl Trait" becomes stable or when the possible restructuring of the rand crate occurs.

Changelog

0.2.0: Breaking changes: Strategy now requires std::fmt::Debug. New additions:

• Strategy now has a family of prop_flat_map() combinators for producing dynamic and higher-order strategies.

• Strategy has a prop_recursive() combinator which allows generating recursive structures.

• Added proptest::bool::weighted() to pull booleans from a weighted distribution.

• New prop_oneof! macro makes it easier to select from one of several strategies.

• New prop_compose! macro to simplify writing most types of custom strategies.

0.1.1: Add strategy::NoShrink, Strategy::no_shrink().

Acknowledgements

This crate wouldn't have come into existence had it not been for the Rust port of QuickCheck and the regex_generate crate which gave wonderful examples of what is possible.
