SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Property-based testing reduces flaky tests and manual test drafting by automatically generating diverse inputs to verify correctness in .NET applications using FsCheck, CsCheck, and fsharp-hedgehog.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-framework support enabling property-based tests in C#, F#, and other .NET languages with shared properties.
  • Stateful and parallel testing options via CsCheck, plus integrated shrinking from FsCheck and Hedgehog.
  • Real-world use: validate data structures, algorithms, and stateful systems against a wide range of inputs to uncover edge cases.

Quick Start

Install FsCheck, CsCheck, or fsharp-hedgehog in your .NET project and write your first property-based test to verify a simple invariant.

FAQPage Schema
What is property-based testing in .NET and how does it reduce flaky tests?▼

Property-based testing in .NET automatically generates diverse inputs to verify correctness, reducing flaky tests and manual test drafting by validating data structures and algorithms against a wide range of edge cases.

How do I write property-based tests for both C# and F# projects?▼

You can write property-based tests for C# and F# projects using cross-framework support from FsCheck, CsCheck, and fsharp-hedgehog, enabling shared properties across mixed-language .NET applications.

Does CsCheck support stateful and parallel testing scenarios?▼

Yes, CsCheck supports stateful and parallel testing options for .NET applications, allowing you to validate complex stateful systems and concurrent scenarios against automatically generated inputs.

Can I use FsCheck and fsharp-hedgehog for deterministic test generation?▼

Yes, FsCheck and fsharp-hedgehog support deterministic generation for .NET tests, providing integrated shrinking to automatically minimize failing test cases to their root causes.

What is the best way to integrate property-based testing with common .NET test runners?▼

The best way to integrate property-based testing is by installing FsCheck, CsCheck, or fsharp-hedgehog in your .NET project, which seamlessly integrate with common .NET test runners to execute generated test cases.

When should I not use property-based testing for my .NET application?▼

You should avoid property-based testing when verifying simple, fixed-input scenarios where manual test drafting is sufficient, as the overhead of configuring generators and shrinking adds unnecessary complexity.
