Hypothesis Documentation: Python Property-Based Testing Library
By
lwhsiao
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Hypothesis is a Python library for property-based testing that allows developers to write tests that should pass for all inputs within specified ranges. The library randomly selects inputs to test, including edge cases developers might not consider. The documentation provides a tutorial for new users, a quickstart guide, and practical how-to guides for applying Hypothesis in specific scenarios.
