pretense-py

A lightweight stateful property-testing and behavioral contract framework.

Overview

Pretense provides model-based state machine property testing, fuzz generation, and specification parity arbiters.

Key Capabilities

State Machine Specification: Declare states, transitions, preconditions, and invariants using @transition.
Fuzz Testing: Deterministic state machine exploration powered by Hypothesis.
Contract Verification: Parity and behavioral conformance testing between specifications and implementations.
Command Line Runner: Run state machine suites across packages via pretense <path>.

Installation

uv pip install pretense-py

Quick Start

import pretense

# Import core pretense primitives
from pretense import transition, TransitionContext, StateMachine

Or run test suites directly:
