Hi,
QuickCheck is a property-based testing framework originating in Haskell. Its 3 key concepts are: 1. Tests are expressed as properties: invariants which should be satisfied for any appropriate test data. 2. The test data are randomly generated and fed to the property. 3. (this is the really interesting stroke of genius) When some data are found for which the test fails, QuickCheck attempts to simplify the data to obtain the minimal example that still fails. My questions are: 1. Are you aware of any work being done on integrating the QuickCheck idea with pytest? 2. QuickCheck generates new test invocations in response to failing tests; Pytest collects tests *before* they are run. Would these two seemingly conflicting features prose problems in trying to implement a QuickCheck plugin for pytest? 3. Would you have any general advice on how one might approach providing a QuickCheck clone on top of pytest? Thanks. _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
