Hi Cafe, Does anyone currently work on Test.SmallCheck? I see the following problems: 1. SC doesn't have a repository, issue tracker etc. 2. It is not integrated with popular test frameworks 3. API should be better documented I'm willing to work on the above problems, but wanted to check first if someone's already working on them or at least has a repository. I already wrote to Colin Runciman but got no response. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/

I don't know whether it's being maintained either, but I'm willing to help with the janitorial work since I use smallcheck and lazy-smallcheck quite a lot and think they should be better advertised/used. Last I heard there was some work on integrating the strict and lazy versions, but that was years ago... so it'd be nice if we could obtain the repo for the beginning of that work, since really they should be integrated. -- Live well, ~wren

Hi Wren, Sounds like a job for the haskell-pkg-janitors group: https://github.com/haskell-pkg-janitors/ Feel free to join in. Cheers, Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/

Hi Cafe,

I recall this being an unfortunate problem from the first release. As I recall the author was interested in getting the concept out there but had no motivation (or was it interest?) in keeping it "alive" as a project. Sounds to me like you should plan on taking over if no one objects. Good luck, Jason

not "working on", but I'm using it in teaching. The one change that I would want in SmallCheck is that Serial should use size, not depth (that is, not take the max over the subtrees, but the sum). I think this would help somewhat against the explosion of test sets. Yes, I can write Serial instances as I fancy but it's the default instances (for tuples, lists) that I think should be changed. At least, an alternative should be provided. On the other hand, that could easily be forked off as a student project, so there is no hurry. Best, Johannes.
