> If only my bugs were as simple as the methods reverse, concat, and index... When I first read about QuickCheck, I had similar reaction. But then I learned that QuickCheck can test stateful systems also. For example, this bug reported against LevelDB, a database system developed at Google, was discovered using QuickCheck: https://github.com/google/leveldb/issues/50. You can read more about it at http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/strange...
