Title
Show me your properties: the potential of property-based testing in agent-based simulation
Abstract
This paper presents property-based testing, an approach for testing implementations of agent-based simulations (ABS), never considered so far in this field. It is a complementary technique to unit-testing and allows to test specifications and laws of an implementation directly in code which is then checked using automated test-data generation. As case-studies, we present two different models, an agent-based SIR model and the SugarScape model, in which we will show how to apply property-based testing to explanatory and exploratory agent-based models and what its limits are.
