Hypothesis
==========
`Hypothesis `_ is a library that allows you
to write tests that are parameterised from a source of examples. It then
generates simple and understandable examples that can be used to make your tests
fail and find bugs with little effort.
#. Install Hypothesis:
.. tab:: Linux/macOS
.. code-block:: console
$ python -m pip install hypothesis
.. tab:: Windows
.. code-block:: ps1con
C:> python -m pip install hypothesis
Alternatively, Hypothesis can also be installed with extensions, for example:
.. tab:: Linux/macOS
.. code-block:: console
$ python -m pip install hypothesis[numpy,pandas]
.. tab:: Windows
.. code-block:: ps1con
C:> python -m pip install hypothesis[numpy,pandas]
#. Write a test:
#. Imports:
.. literalinclude:: test_hypothesis.py
:language: python
:lines: 1-3
:lineno-start: 1
#. Test:
.. literalinclude:: test_hypothesis.py
:language: python
:lines: 6-
:lineno-start: 6
#. Perform test:
.. tab:: Linux/macOS
.. code-block:: console
