Описание тега fscheck

FsCheck is a framework for random testing of.NET programs. FsCheck is a port of Haskell's QuickCheck written in F#.

To test a program with FsCheck, you provide a specification of the program, in the form of properties which functions, methods or objects should satisfy, and FsCheck then tests that the properties hold in a large number of randomly generated cases. While writing the properties, you are actually writing a testable specification of your program. Specifications are expressed in F#, C# or VB, using a flexible and clean API. It sounds lofty, but it's more fun than unit testing!

You can write properties, observe the distribution of test data, and define test data generators. When a property fails, FsCheck automatically displays a minimal counter example - this process, called shrinking, is very useful to quickly find the bug. Instead of digging through a potentially large randomly generated test case to find the part that actually triggers the bug, FsCheck can do that work for you!
