Langston Barrett Dots Hedgehog

• Rather than using conditionals (if, unless, when) when preconditions aren't met, use ==> or discard from Hedgehog.
• Ensure that generators have high coverage, consider writing tests that guarantee that the generators can generate all relevant shapes of data within some relatively small number of samples.
• Don't provide explanatory comments for very simple algebraic properties such as reflexivity of ==.

Ensure that every nontrivial typeclass instance has tests for each of the following properties:

• Eq

  • x == x
  • x == y ==> y == x
  • x == y && y == z ==> x == z

• Ord

  • x <= y && y <= x ==> x == y
  • x <= y && y <= z ==> x <= z
  • x <= y || y <= x
  • compare x y == EQ ==> x == y

• Eq1

  • liftEq (==) x y == (x == y)

• Ord1

  • liftCompare compare x y == compare x y

• Hashable

  • x == y ==> hash x == hash y

• Functor

  • fmap id == id
  • fmap (f . g) == fmap f . fmap g

• Applicative

  • pure id <*> v == v
  • pure (.) <*> u <*> v <*> w == u <*> (v <*> w)
  • pure f <*> pure x == pure (f x)
  • u <*> pure y == pure ($ y) <*> u

• Monad

  • return x >>= f == f x
  • m >>= return == m
  • (m >>= f) >>= g == m >>= (\x -> f x >>= g)

• Traversable

  • traverse Identity == Identity
  • traverse (Compose . fmap g . f) == Compose . fmap (traverse g) . traverse f

• Bifunctor

  • bimap id id == id
  • bimap (f . g) (h . i) == bimap f h . bimap g i

• Bitraversable

  • bitraverse (Identity . f) (Identity . g) == Identity . bimap f g
  • bitraverse (Compose . fmap g . f) (Compose . fmap i . h) == Compose . fmap (bitraverse g i) . bitraverse f h

• Semigroup

  • (x <> y) <> z == x <> (y <> z)

• Monoid

  • x <> mempty == x
  • mempty <> x == x
  • (x <> y) <> z == x <> (y <> z)

• Alternative

  • empty <|> x == x
  • x <|> empty == x
  • (x <|> y) <|> z == x <|> (y <|> z)

• MonadPlus

  • mzero >>= f == mzero
  • m >> mzero == mzero
