List of elm-test packages?

[drathier]

Do we want a list/table of packages that provide additional functionality on top of elm-test? Right now, we're mentioning elm-html-test and elm-testable under "Application-specific techniques", but there are two more I think should be mentioned.

• elm-architecture-test for fuzz testing the update function with random Msg.
• elm-test-graph for fuzz testing data structure modifications that should be independent.

There is also lobo, and I honestly have no idea why it's necessary over what we provide. You also missed elm-verify-examples which is in the README already.

But yes, I think this is a good idea. I think the "strategies" should be meatier ideas than "use this library. Logically this means that if we are going to mention other libraries, they should get a section to themselves.

However, I kind of like the idea of "recommended" libraries over a comprehensive list. Another possibility is to have a GitHub pages page where we can update the table independently of the release cycle.

Yeah - the alternative would get out of hand pretty quickly.

Personally I'm comfortable recommending the ones we currently list, but there aren't any others that have crossed the threshold for me. I know they're out there, but I don't feel confident enough to recommend them at this point.

I'd recommend the elm-verify-examples, but not for example my elm-architecture-test right now. (I'd feel more confident if we let the situation around Fuzz.andThen, test-update etc. stabilize and converge into something that doesn't have the warts we currently know it has :) ).
