GOPTER

... the GOlang Property TestER

Change Log

Synopsis

Gopter tries to bring the goodness of ScalaCheck (and implicitly, the goodness of QuickCheck) to Go. It can also be seen as a more sophisticated version of the testing/quick package.

Main differences to ScalaCheck:

• It is Go ... duh
• ... nevertheless: Do not expect the same typesafety and elegance as in ScalaCheck.
• For simplicity Shrink has become part of the generators. They can still be easily changed if necessary.
• There is no Pretty ... so far gopter feels quite comfortable being ugly.
• A generator for regex matches
• No parallel commands ... yet?

Main differences to the testing/quick package:

• Much tighter control over generators
• Shrinkers, i.e. automatically find the minimum value falsifying a property
• A generator for regex matches (already mentioned that ... but it's cool)
• Support for stateful tests
