# Property and Testable types

newtype Property #

The type of properties.

Constructors

MkProperty |
Fields unProperty :: Gen Prop

Instances

Testable Property # |
Methods property :: Property -> Property #

class Testable prop where #

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

Minimal complete definition

property

Methods

property :: prop -> Property #

Convert the thing to a property.

Instances

Testable Bool # |

Testable Result # |
Methods property :: Result -> Property #
Testable Prop # |
Methods property :: Prop -> Property #
Testable Discard # |

(Arbitrary a, Show a, Testable prop) => Testable (a -> prop) # |
Methods property :: (a -> prop) -> Property #

data Discard #

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

Constructors

Discard |

Instances

Testable Discard # |
Methods property :: Discard -> Property #

morallyDubiousIOProperty :: Testable prop => IO prop -> Property #

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 -> Property #

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.

Note that if you use `ioProperty` on a property of type `IO Bool`, or more generally a property that does no quantification, the property will only be executed once. To test the property repeatedly you must use the `again` combinator.

ioRose :: IO (Rose Result) -> Rose Result #

joinRose :: Rose (Rose a) -> Rose a #

reduceRose :: Rose Result -> IO (Rose Result) #

Execute the IORose bits of a rose tree, returning a tree constructed by MkRose.

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

Apply a function to the outermost MkRose constructor of a rose tree. The function must be total!

protectRose :: IO (Rose Result) -> IO (Rose Result) #

Wrap a rose tree in an exception handler.

protectResults :: Rose Result -> Rose Result #

Wrap all the Results in a rose tree in exception handlers.

## Result type

data Callback #

mapProp :: Testable prop => (Prop -> Prop) -> prop -> Property #

## Property combinators

mapSize :: Testable prop => (Int -> Int) -> prop -> Property #

Changes the maximum test case size for a property.

shrinking #

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 -> Property #

Disables shrinking for a property altogether.

callback :: Testable prop => Callback -> prop -> Property #

Adds a callback

counterexample :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> Property #

Adds the given string to the counterexample.

printTestCase :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> Property #

Deprecated: Use counterexample instead

Adds the given string to the counterexample.

whenFail :: Testable prop => IO () -> prop -> Property #

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

whenFail' :: Testable prop => IO () -> prop -> Property #

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 -> Property #

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

expectFailure :: Testable prop => prop -> Property #

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

once :: Testable prop => prop -> Property #

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

again :: Testable prop => prop -> Property #

Undoes the effect of `once`.

label :: Testable prop => String -> prop -> Property #

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

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

Labels a property with a value:

    collect x = label (show x)

classify #

Arguments

:: Testable prop |
=> Bool | `True` if the test case should be labelled.
-> String | Label.
-> prop |
-> Property |

Conditionally labels test case.

cover #

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 successful test cases belong to the given class. Discarded tests (i.e. ones with a false precondition) do not affect coverage.

(==>) :: Testable prop => Bool -> prop -> Property infixr 0 #

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 -> Property #

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

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

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

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

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

(.&.) :: (Testable prop1, Testable prop2) => prop1 -> prop2 -> Property infixr 1 #

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 -> Property infixr 1 #

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

conjoin :: Testable prop => [prop] -> Property #

Take the conjunction of several properties.

(.||.) :: (Testable prop1, Testable prop2) => prop1 -> prop2 -> Property infixr 1 #

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

disjoin :: Testable prop => [prop] -> Property #

Take the disjunction of several properties.

(===) :: (Eq a, Show a) => a -> a -> Property infix 4 #

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