Bloody posted:how does property-based testing stack up against stuff like ecp and mc/dc I don’t really know what either ecp or mc/dc refer to, so that’s a difficult point to discuss. The most terse way I could have to describe property-based testing is to compare it to fuzzing and model checking. Fuzzing will try to give you the max coverage of all instrumented points in a program, but it will mostly care if it can reach these and make the program crash in trying to do so; there will be no mechanism to assess whether the program does the right thing. Model checking is a formal method by which you write a very specific model of your software and the environment in which it runs to make sure it always does the right thing. property tests are basically the hybrid of that: you generate mostly random data (which you can guide or tailor in various ways) in order to informally check that some property of your program: you’re not content to say the program runs on any random integer, but also need to show that the results make sense. for stateful programs, you’ll often design a simpler model of them and compare, through various generated sequences of operations, that the real system behaves the way the model predicts it should. So that’s it in a nutshell. You take the iterative and explorative aspects of fuzzing, and couple them with an informal approach borrowed from modelling to get into what can be a sweet spot. You need to think about testing differently. Another way to see it is to say that basically you tell your property testing framework how to generate test cases for you, and then it will find examples of it on its own.

It’s a more regular book, more serious. It still uses a conversational tone but since I try to keep the page count down, I can’t afford to use nice pompous stories

It's not your word to use, and it's not cool to compare dumbasses on the internet to people with disabilities as an insult. Shaggar figured this out without having to literally have his hand held like a dumb whiny baby but apparently you treasure this word so dearly you are willing to keep dragging this poo poo out.
