How can I automate testing in Haskell?

You can use libraries like Hspec or QuickCheck for testing in Haskell. Hspec is great for behavior-driven development, while QuickCheck is useful for property-based testing.

Can you give me an example of using Hspec?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import Test.Hspec

main :: IO ()
main = hspec $ do
  describe "addition" $ do
    it "adds two numbers" $ do
      (1 + 1) `shouldBe` 2

What about QuickCheck? How does it work?

QuickCheck allows you to specify properties that your functions should satisfy. It generates random test cases to verify these properties. For example:

import Test.QuickCheck

prop_reverse :: [Int] -> Bool
prop_reverse xs = reverse (reverse xs) == xs

main :: IO ()
main = quickCheck prop_reverse

Are there any best practices for writing tests in Haskell?

Yes! Some best practices include writing tests alongside your code, keeping tests small and focused, and using descriptive names for your test cases.
