I couldn't get Hypothesis to generate usable data for my test. I wanted to assert that two equal data items would hash equally, but Hypothesis was finding pairs like[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the hash takes the types into account.
Automated tests are the cornerstone of modern software development. They ensure that every time we build new functionalities, we do not break existing features our users rely on. Traditionally, we tackle this with example-based tests. We list specific scenarios (or test cases) that verify the expected behaviour. In a banking application, we might write a test to assert that transferring $100 to a friend's bank account changes their balance from $180 to $280.
