Example Usages

A defspec consists of a name, a function to be tested, an input spec, and a validator:

(defspec integers-closed-over-addition
  (fn [a b] (+' a b))                    ;; input fn
  [^long a ^long b]                     ;; input spec
  (assert (integer? %)))                ;; 0 or more validator forms

To generate test data, see the fns in the generators namespace. Note that these functions shadow a bunch of clojure.core names.

You can also create the underlying test data structures directly, marking vars with :clojure.test.generative/specs so they are picked up by the runner. This can be useful e.g. to model relationships between input parameters, or to specify a finite list of special cases. The example below specifies five specific one-argument arg lists:

(def ^::tgen/specs
  inc'-doesnt-overflow-specs
  [{:test 'clojure.test.math-test/inc'-doesnt-overflow
    :input-gen #(map vector [Long/MIN_VALUE -1 0 1 Long/MAX_VALUE])}])

Running Interactively During Development

Specify the number of threads, the number of msec, and one or more vars to test:

(runner/run 2 1000 #'my/test-var)

Running in a CI environment

Wire your runner to call runner/-main with a list of directories where tests can be found. You can see bin/test.clj for an example.

You can use the following system properties to control the intensity of your test

Java PropertyInterpretation
clojure.test.generative.threadsNumber of concurrent threads
clojure.test.generative.msecDesired test run duration
