Introduction to property-based testing

On Tuesday night, I was talking about testing techniques at the Cambridge Python User Group (CamPUG for short). I was talking primarily about property-based testing and the Python library Hypothesis, but I included an introduction to the ideas of stateful testing, and fuzz testing with american fuzzy lop (afl).

I was expecting the traditional property-based testing would be the main attraction, and the stateful and fuzz testing would just be nice extras. In fact, I think interest was pretty evenly divided between the three topics.

I’ve posted the slides and my rough notes. Thanks to everybody who came on Tuesday – I had a really good evening.
