=== Overview === QuickCheck is designed to help developers validate the behavior of their Elixir programs by generating random inputs and testing properties against them. It follows the principles of property-based testing, a paradigm that uses properties or assertions about the code rather than explicit test cases. This approach is particularly useful in situations where exhaustive testing is not possible or practical. The core idea behind QuickCheck is the generation of random data. QuickCheck provides a wide range of data generators for different data types, allowing developers to test their code with a variety of input values. These generators can be combined and customized to suit specific testing requirements. QuickCheck uses the concept of properties to specify the behavior that should hold true for a given piece of code. A property is a function that takes input values, applies them to the code under test, and evaluates whether the expected behavior is met. QuickCheck automatically generates and tests a large number of random inputs against the defined properties, enabling developers to detect potential issues and corner cases that may not have been considered.
