I'm a huge fan of TDD (Test-Driven Development) et I used to use tools such as RSpec (Ruby). So naturally, I looked to HSpec, but it seems not idiomatic in Haskell. I have a bunch of questions: - Do you do TDD? - Which tools do you use? - Is doctest "better" (in some senses) than HSpec? Why? - Are HSpec and Doctest complementary? If so, in which case do you use one or another? - Is there some Haskell-specific good practices do to TDD?
Both doctest and HSpec are implemented by Simon (the same author). His intention is described here: https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/unit-test-example/blob/master/markdown/en/t... Probably Haskell specific feature is QuickCheck integration. Now GHC 7.8 is out, we can use the "prop>" keyword in doctest cases, too. Enjoy. --Kazu
