This library can be used to write property-based tests.

Primarily, the library is structured so that the Std module encapsulates most of the necessary functions. This module includes basic generators, which form the foundation for crafting custom generators tailored to specific testing needs.

The library introduces a monad-like structure to facilitate the creation of new generators. This structure is particularly advantageous because it ensures predictable and manageable shrinking behavior. Consequently, it simplifies the debugging process by providing a consistent shrinking pattern, an essential feature for isolating and understanding failures in property-based testing.

Recognizing the importance of finding minimal counter-examples in testing, the library provides various shrinking strategies. These strategies are designed to streamline the process of narrowing down the test cases to the simplest form that still demonstrates a bug or an issue, making the analysis and rectification of problems more efficient.

For scenarios requiring specific shrinking behavior, the Gen modules come into play. These modules allow for the definition of ad-hoc shrinkers, offering the flexibility to tailor the shrinking process to meet the unique requirements of different tests.

For those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the library's shrinking mechanism, a detailed resource is available. The document our primer on shrinking provides insights and explanations about the inner workings of the shrinking process within this library, catering to both beginners and experienced users seeking a more profound comprehension of the system.
