I have written a prototype tool that is similar in spirit, and in some
of its workings, to QuickCheck,
but based on exhaustive testing in a bounded space of test values.
Sales pitch: wouldn't you like to ...
* write test generators for your own types more easily?
* be sure that any counter-examples found are minimal? (##)
* write properties using existentials as well as universals?
* establish complete coverage of a defined test-space?
* display counter-examples of functional type? (##)
* guarantee repeatable test results? (##)
For more details and a Haskell 98 module SmallCheck download the small
tar file at:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/smallcheck0.0.tarIf you try it, do let me know how you get on. Comments & suggestions
welcome.

(##) There have been versions of QuickCheck with extras that address
these issues in other ways.
