In this focus demo, I will give a short introduction to the hypothesis Python library (https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/), which provides a property-based testing framework that integrates into the existing Python testing frameworks of pytest and unittest. I'll provide some examples of how I've used hypothesis in the past, and show how effective it is at finding edge and corner cases in your code.
