README
What is FsCheck?
FsCheck is a tool for testing .NET programs automatically. The programmer provides a specification of the program, in the form of properties which functions, methods or objects should satisfy, and FsCheck then tests that the properties hold in a large number of randomly generated cases. While writing the properties, you are actually writing a testable specification of your program. Specifications are expressed in F#, C# or VB, using combinators defined in the FsCheck library. FsCheck provides combinators to define properties, observe the distribution of test data, and define test data generators. When a property fails, FsCheck automatically displays a minimal counter example.
FsCheck is a port of Haskell's QuickCheck. Important parts of the manual for using FsCheck is almost literally adapted from the QuickCheck manual. Any errors and omissions are entirely my responsibility.
Since v0.5, scalacheck has influenced FsCheck as well. Scalacheck is itself a port of QuickCheck to Scala.
FsCheck's generator combinators can be used in any testing framework to easily generate a number of random values for many types, and FsCheck itself integrates nicely with existing unit testing frameworks such as NUnit, xUnit, MSTest and MbUnit.

Documentation
Contributing
Pull requests very welcome!
Check out the issues marked up-for-grabs if you need any inspiration.
It's very rare that we reject PRs. Generally, if you intend to make a bigger change, it's better to open an issue first to discuss.
Building
Checkout the project and run build.cmd on Windows or build.sh on Linux/OSX. That should pull in all the dependencies, build and run the tests.
For Visual Studio/MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio/VsCode: open (the folder that contains) FsCheck.sln and start coding.
FsCheck uses FAKE, targets for building are Build
and for testing RunTests
. Documentation uses FSharp.Formatting, so literate fsx files. To generate the html files, run build.[cmd|sh] -t GenerateDocs
