Advent of PBT 2021 — Learn how to use property based testing and fast-check through examples
Our algorithm today is: drawTree.
It comes with the following documentation and prototype:
/**
* Draw a tree with:
* - a trunc made of '^',
* - leaves on the left made of '('
* - and the ones on the right made of ')'
*
* @param size - Size of the tree >=1
*/
declare function drawTree(size: number): string;
We already wrote some examples based tests for it:
it("should be able to draw a tree of size 1", () => {
// prettier-ignore
expect(drawTree(1)).toEqual(
"^\n" +
"^\n" +
"^"
);
});
it("should be able to draw a tree of size 2", () => {
// prettier-ignore
expect(drawTree(2)).toEqual(
" ^\n" +
"(^)\n" +
" ^\n" +
" ^"
);
});
it("should be able to draw a tree of size 5", () => {
// prettier-ignore
expect(drawTree(5)).toEqual(
" ^\n" +
" (^)\n" +
" ((^))\n" +
" (((^)))\n" +
"((((^))))\n" +
" ^\n" +
" ^"
);
});
How would you cover it with Property Based Tests?
In order to ease your task we provide you with an already setup CodeSandbox, with examples based tests already written and a possible implementation of the algorithm: https://codesandbox.io/s/advent-of-pbt-day-20-61ylb?file=/src/index.spec.ts&previewwindow=tests
You wanna see the solution? Here is the set of properties I came with to cover today's algorithm: https://dev.to/dubzzz/advent-of-pbt-2021-day-20-solution-43nm
