Property-based and performance testing in Python

This repo showcases property-based and performance testing in Python done with:

• pytest
• pytest-benchmark
• Hypothesis

• make

Setting up the environment

This project uses virtualenv to isolate the environment in which it is being run.

For instance, on MacOS, you would have to run:

$ python3 -m venv test-venv
$ source test-venv/bin/activate

Mind the possible necessity of using a different activation script, see ls test-venv/bin.

Installing

This project uses setuptools. To install the project in-place along with its dependencies run:

make install

Run tests

The tests are written using property-based testing library Hypothesis. To run the tests:

make test
