Property-based testing relies on specifying some property of code, unlike unit tests, which specify the expected output in response to some inputs. In this course, we'll cover the concepts we need to feel confident about using even the most advanced features of PropEr with Elixir.

We'll start with the basic and foundational principles of property-based testing, see what the framework offers us to get started, make our way through thinking in properties, write our own custom data generators, and then learn more advanced concepts. We'll also see how you can use property-based testing in a realistic project.

By the time we finish this course, we should feel comfortable testing real-world applications using properties.

Property-Based Testing with PropEr in Elixir

## Summary

We’ve gotten an overview of the pros and cons of property-based testing and outlined the typical Elixir project structure.

## What's next
This chapter will look into the specific format of properties, how we can tell the framework what data to generate for them, and how to interpret test results.
