             Summary: Add junit-quickcheck to Gradle test dependencies.
                 Key: GEODE-2206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2206
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Galen O'Sullivan
            Assignee: Mark Bretl


Unit tests allow us to test cases we know about and have thought of. 
Property-based testing allows us to test those, and some cases we haven't 
thought of -- you're essentially fuzzing a limited subset of the code. 
{{junit-quickcheck}} makes it easy to write "property-based" tests with 
generators for the builtin types. You can also constrain input or build custom 
generators for constrained data.

I think this would be especially helpful for testing areas like PDX 
serialization, which should be able to accept any serializable object a user 
creates.
