The Magic of Property Testing

Описание: I like well-tested code. But I don't like writing and maintaining hundreds of unit tests. So here's a quick walkthrough of one of my favourite testing techniques - property testing. Under the right circumstances, property tests let you test hundreds of possible situations for nearly zero programmer effort. They are incredible value for money. 🤑

So in a footnote to our usual interviews, here's some coding demonstrating unit tests in action, and why I like them so much. And along the way I get to show you one of my favourite languages - PureScript - and one of my favourite editors - Neovim. 😎
