Overview

Property-based testing verifies that code satisfies general properties or invariants for a wide range of automatically generated inputs, rather than testing specific examples. This approach finds edge cases and bugs that example-based tests often miss.

When to Use

• Testing algorithms with mathematical properties
• Verifying invariants that should always hold
• Finding edge cases automatically
