Hypothesis

Property-based testing library for Python

About Hypothesis

A Python library for property-based testing that generates example inputs automatically to find edge cases, shrinking failing cases to minimal examples and integrating with pytest test suites. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
