SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Property Testing enables validating invariants over a wide range of inputs, reducing brittle, example-based tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Property-based tests using fast-check to verify invariants across random inputs.
  • Supports common arbitraries (integers, floats, strings, arrays, objects) and real-world scenarios.
  • Example-focused workflows show how to validate calculations and state transitions in livestock-management logic.

Quick Start

Run a property-based test suite with fast-check to validate core invariants on batch data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use property testing to validate business logic invariants with Vitest?

Property testing with fast-check validates business logic invariants by running assertions against many random inputs, ensuring calculations and state transitions hold across edge cases. It integrates directly with Vitest to execute these property tests.

What is property-based testing and when should I use it instead of example-based tests?

Property-based testing verifies that invariants hold across a wide range of generated inputs, reducing brittle example-based tests. Use it to validate complex calculations, constraints, and state transitions by defining properties rather than specific scenarios.

Does property testing with fast-check work for validating state transitions in domain logic?

Yes, property testing applies to unit, integration, and domain tests. You can validate state transitions and constraints in domain logic by generating random inputs with fast-check arbitraries and asserting invariants hold after operations.

How do I generate random inputs for testing calculations using fast-check?

Fast-check provides common arbitraries like integers, floats, strings, arrays, and objects to generate random inputs. You use these arbitraries to feed calculations and assert that specific invariants remain valid across real-world scenarios.

What's the best way to test livestock-management workflows for edge case failures?

Use fast-check property tests to validate batch data invariants within livestock-management workflows. This approach automatically generates edge case inputs to verify calculations and state transitions without writing manual test scenarios.

Do I need fast-check installed to run property tests in my JavaScript project?

Yes, fast-check is required as a testing dependency to generate arbitraries and run property tests. You also need Vitest configured as your test runner to execute the resulting property-based test suite.
