Description

Combinators for constructing properties.

Synopsis

Property and Testable types

newtype Property Source

The type of properties.

Constructors

MkProperty 

Fields

unProperty :: Gen Prop
 

Instances

class Testable prop whereSource

The class of things which can be tested, i.e. turned into a property.

Methods

property :: prop -> PropertySource

Convert the thing to a property.

exhaustive :: prop -> BoolSource

If true, the property will only be tested once. However, if used inside a quantifier, it will be tested normally.

data Discard Source

If a property returns Discard, the current test case is discarded, the same as if a precondition was false.

Constructors

Discard 

Instances

morallyDubiousIOProperty :: Testable prop => IO prop -> PropertySource

Deprecated: Use ioProperty instead

Do I/O inside a property. This can obviously lead to unrepeatable testcases, so use with care.

ioProperty :: Testable prop => IO prop -> PropertySource

Do I/O inside a property. This can obviously lead to unrepeatable testcases, so use with care.

For more advanced monadic testing you may want to look at Test.QuickCheck.Monadic.

Exception handling

protect :: (AnException -> a) -> IO a -> IO aSource

Type Prop

newtype Prop Source

Constructors

MkProp 

Fields

unProp :: Rose Result
 

Instances

type Rose

data Rose a Source

Constructors

MkRose a [Rose a] 
IORose (IO (Rose a)) 

onRose :: (a -> [Rose a] -> Rose a) -> Rose a -> Rose aSource

Result type

data Callback Source

Different kinds of callbacks

Constructors

PostTest CallbackKind (State -> Result -> IO ())

Called just after a test

PostFinalFailure CallbackKind (State -> Result -> IO ())

Called with the final failing test-case

data CallbackKind Source

Constructors

Counterexample

Affected by the verbose combinator

NotCounterexample

Not affected by the verbose combinator

data Result Source

The result of a single test.

Constructors

MkResult 

Fields

ok :: Maybe Bool

result of the test case; Nothing = discard

expect :: Bool

indicates what the expected result of the property is

reason :: String

a message indicating what went wrong

theException :: Maybe AnException

the exception thrown, if any

abort :: Bool

if True, the test should not be repeated

stamp :: [(String, Int)]

the collected values for this test case

callbacks :: [Callback]

the callbacks for this test case

Instances

Lifting and mapping functions

mapResult :: Testable prop => (Result -> Result) -> prop -> PropertySource

mapProp :: Testable prop => (Prop -> Prop) -> prop -> PropertySource

Property combinators

mapSize :: Testable prop => (Int -> Int) -> prop -> PropertySource

Changes the maximum test case size for a property.

shrinkingSource

Arguments

:: Testable prop 
=> (a -> [a])

shrink-like function.

-> a

The original argument

-> (a -> prop) 
-> Property 

Shrinks the argument to property if it fails. Shrinking is done automatically for most types. This is only needed when you want to override the default behavior.

noShrinking :: Testable prop => prop -> PropertySource

Disables shrinking for a property altogether.

callback :: Testable prop => Callback -> prop -> PropertySource

Adds a callback

counterexample :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> PropertySource

Adds the given string to the counterexample.

printTestCase :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> PropertySource

Deprecated: Use counterexample instead

Adds the given string to the counterexample.

whenFail :: Testable prop => IO () -> prop -> PropertySource

Performs an IO action after the last failure of a property.

whenFail' :: Testable prop => IO () -> prop -> PropertySource

Performs an IO action every time a property fails. Thus, if shrinking is done, this can be used to keep track of the failures along the way.

verbose :: Testable prop => prop -> PropertySource

Prints out the generated testcase every time the property is tested. Only variables quantified over inside the verbose are printed.

expectFailure :: Testable prop => prop -> PropertySource

Indicates that a property is supposed to fail. QuickCheck will report an error if it does not fail.

once :: Testable prop => prop -> PropertySource

Modifies a property so that it only will be tested once.

label :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> PropertySource

Attaches a label to a property. This is used for reporting test case distribution.

collect :: (Show a, Testable prop) => a -> prop -> PropertySource

Labels a property with a value:

 collect x = label (show x)

classifySource

Arguments

:: Testable prop 
=> Bool

True if the test case should be labelled.

-> String

Label.

-> prop 
-> Property 

Conditionally labels test case.

coverSource

Arguments

:: Testable prop 
=> Bool

True if the test case belongs to the class.

-> Int

The required percentage (0-100) of test cases.

-> String

Label for the test case class.

-> prop 
-> Property 

Checks that at least the given proportion of the test cases belong to the given class.

(==>) :: Testable prop => Bool -> prop -> PropertySource

Implication for properties: The resulting property holds if the first argument is False (in which case the test case is discarded), or if the given property holds.

within :: Testable prop => Int -> prop -> PropertySource

Considers a property failed if it does not complete within the given number of microseconds.

forAll :: (Show a, Testable prop) => Gen a -> (a -> prop) -> PropertySource

Explicit universal quantification: uses an explicitly given test case generator.

forAllShrink :: (Show a, Testable prop) => Gen a -> (a -> [a]) -> (a -> prop) -> PropertySource

Like forAll, but tries to shrink the argument for failing test cases.

(.&.) :: (Testable prop1, Testable prop2) => prop1 -> prop2 -> PropertySource

Nondeterministic choice: p1 .&. p2 picks randomly one of p1 and p2 to test. If you test the property 100 times it makes 100 random choices.

(.&&.) :: (Testable prop1, Testable prop2) => prop1 -> prop2 -> PropertySource

Conjunction: p1 .&&. p2 passes if both p1 and p2 pass.

conjoin :: Testable prop => [prop] -> PropertySource

Take the conjunction of several properties.

(.||.) :: (Testable prop1, Testable prop2) => prop1 -> prop2 -> PropertySource

Disjunction: p1 .||. p2 passes unless p1 and p2 simultaneously fail.

disjoin :: Testable prop => [prop] -> PropertySource

Take the disjunction of several properties.

(===) :: (Eq a, Show a) => a -> a -> PropertySource

Like ==, but prints a counterexample when it fails.
