Hypothesis is the Python library for property-based testing. Hypothesis can infer how to construct type-annotated classes, and supports builtin types, many standard library types, and generic types from the typing and typing_extensions modules by default.

From Pydantic v1.8 and Hypothesis v5.29.0, Hypothesis will automatically load support for custom types like PaymentCardNumber and PositiveFloat, so that the st.builds() and st.from_type() strategies support them without any user configuration.

!!! warning Please note, while the plugin supports these types, hypothesis will(currently) generate values outside of given args for the constrained function types.

Use with JSON Schemas

To test client-side code, you can use Model.model_json_schema() with the hypothesis-jsonschema package to generate arbitrary JSON instances matching the schema. For web API testing, Schemathesis provides a higher-level wrapper and can detect both errors and security vulnerabilities.
