Implement functional testing? #23

scalacheck is very neat. Apart from all the ide hook ups and setting up issues. Are you still considering this?

oskopek commented 10 years ago

I've never actually ventured into reading the documentation or starting to use it. The syntax of the tests seemed easy and straightforward, the main advantage being: easy test generation and shorter tests, i.e. less stuff to type vs. JUnit. I'm definitely considering it, but if it's too hard or non-standard to set up, we might have to pass on it. Do you have any experience with ScalaCheck or other functional based testing? Do the pros outweigh the cons?

You're right in terms of getting the code done; it is much simpler and much less ceremonial coding. I have experience with scalacheck; have been doing scala for a year now. It is very powerful. I like it. cons: it takes up a lot of resources for compiling and executing. It kills my eclipse ide.

I would say it definitely out weighs the pros then cons. It has a pretty strong open source support and is catching on. Its not that difficult to set up. I will look into it. Have a sample test and you can see what you think of it.

That's great, would love to see how it works in practice. I've always wanted to try scala but somehow never got around to it, this could be a nice way to start. Thanks for your time, looking forward to the test case.
