From dcf63316f6aca4fb2cae2885f5c1754a2f2ec581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Waits Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 10:37:31 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] test(proptest): add property-based tests for invariants MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds proptest as a dev-dependency and a `tests/properties.rs` integration suite that probes invariants on randomly generated inputs: Pareto invariants: - `pareto_compare` is anti-symmetric: A→B is opposite of B→A for Dominates / DominatedBy - `pareto_compare` is reflexive on equal candidates (returns Equal) - `pareto_front` output is internally non-dominated - `non_dominated_sort` puts every member into exactly one front - `crowding_distance` returns Vec same length as front; boundary points are infinity for fronts of size ≥ 2 in any axis-sortable configuration Operator invariants: - `SimulatedBinaryCrossover` returns 2 children of the right length, all in bounds - `PolynomialMutation` returns 1 child of the right length, in bounds - `BoundedGaussianMutation` returns 1 child in bounds - `ClampToBounds` repair always lands in bounds - `ProjectToSimplex` repair always sums to total and is non-negative Algorithm invariants: - For any seed, `Optimizer::run` is deterministic across two calls - Final population has the documented size for population-based algorithms These are the invariants the existing 226 fixed-input unit tests collectively check; proptest gives us coverage on inputs they don't cover individually. --- Cargo.toml | 1 + tests/properties.proptest-regressions | 7 + tests/properties.rs | 277 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 285 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/properties.proptest-regressions create mode 100644 tests/properties.rs diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml index 66e1e58..053a85e 100644 --- a/Cargo.toml +++ b/Cargo.toml @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"], optional = true } [dev-dependencies] gungraun = "0.18" +proptest = "1" [[bench]] name = "hot_paths" diff --git a/tests/properties.proptest-regressions b/tests/properties.proptest-regressions new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c4b541c --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/properties.proptest-regressions @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +# Seeds for failure cases proptest has generated in the past.
