[EN] ByteSized RSE: Property Based Testing - Duncan McGregor and Nicholas del Grosso

Property based testing can help you make your tests more effective and your code more robust. Together with my guests Duncan McGregor and Nicholas del Grosso we talk about what property based testing is and in particular go into one widely used implementation for Python - the Hypothesis library. Here are a few links:https://increment.com/testing/in-praise-of-property-based-testing/ from David MacIver (creator of hypothesis) about the benefits of property based testinghttps://hypothesis.works/articles/what-is-property-based-testing/ explaining what property based testing ishttps://www.inspiredpython.com/course/testing-with-hypothesis/testing-your-python-code-with-hypothesis Testing your code with Hypothesishttps://reiddraper.com/writing-simple-check/ Reid Draper (QuickCheck) on shrinkinghttps://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck-1.0 the QuickCheck toolhttps://hypothesis.works/articles/how-many-tests/ How many tests is hypothesis running?https://hypothesis.works/articles/quickcheck-in-every-language/ property based testing in other languages (a bit outdated - it's from 2016)https://hypothesis.works/articles/integrated-shrinking/ David MacIver on how he implemented shrinking in Hypothesishttps://hypothesis.works/articles/compositional-shrinking/ and more on shrinkinghttps://jqwik.net the property based testing library for Java/Kotlinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming What is functional programminghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgDPvlgUSLE Duncan's YouTube episode on property based testing with jqwik (from his channel 'Refactoring to Kotlin')Get in touchThank you for listening!
