Hi all,
I am doing some generative testing with test.check and need a way to
control the growth rate of data structures (the regular linear growth
quickly makes the computations too large for meaningful testing usage). I
came up with the following solution to do this:
(defn gen-resize
"Creates a generator that pre-modifies the 'size' pramater with the
function f. Use if you want to
have the size grow at a different rate from the normal linear scaling."
([f gen]
(let [gf (or (:gen gen) "gen paramter must be a test.check generator")
new-gf (fn [rnd size]
(gf rnd (f size)))]
(clojure.test.check.generators.Generator. new-gf))))
Normal O(n) growth:
(gen/sample gen/s-pos-int 30)
=> (1 2 3 2 4 5 4 7 6 3 3 7 10 4 8 11 14 12 6 10 9 1 8 21 12 16 25 25 21 6)
Controlled O(sqrt(n)) growth:
(gen/sample (gen-resize sqrt gen/s-pos-int) 30)
=> (1 2 2 2 2 4 3 3 3 3 4 3 5 1 2 3 2 4 4 2 2 3 6 6 2 5 5 4 6 3)
So.... it seems to work, but is this a sane / recommended approach? Am I
relying too much on test.check internals?
