Facts

Purpose

Scala Hedgehog is a property-based testing system for Scala, in the spirit of QuickCheck and ScalaCheck.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Automatic shrinking

Integrated shrinking simplifies failing test cases while preserving the invariants of generated values.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Generator control

Range combinators control the scope of generated numbers and collections.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Test runner

The project includes an SBT test runner and supports SBT's testing extension.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Test integrations

Integration modules are available for Minitest and MUnit.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Build tools

The getting-started documentation assumes SBT and says Hedgehog is also supported for Gradle through a Scala plugin.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Scala compatibility

The documentation lists support for Scala 2.12, 2.13, and 3.3+.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Availability

The project documents binary dependencies published through Maven Central, including core, runner, SBT, Minitest, and MUnit modules.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Core dependencies

The core module currently has no external dependencies.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Release status

The project describes itself as in an early release and says its API may break until wider adoption.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

IntelliJ limitation

The docs say IntelliJ's Scala plugin does not list Hedgehog among its hard-coded supported test frameworks, and explain how to run Properties tests as an application instead.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Intended users

The project is for Scala developers who want property-based tests, including tests of stateful systems.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Integrated shrinking

Its integrated shrinkers compose with generators, so shrunk values preserve their invariants by construction.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

State testing

It supports abstract state machine testing for stateful systems.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Range controls

Range combinators control the scope of generated numbers and collections.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Scala versions

The documented supported Scala versions are 2.12, 2.13, and 3.3+.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

SBT runner

Hedgehog provides an sbt testing extension; sbt 1.9.1 and higher support it by default, while versions 1.9.0 and lower require a testFrameworks setting.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

MUnit integration

The hedgehog-munit module supports property-based and example-based Hedgehog tests in an MUnit test suite.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

Minitest integration

Scala Hedgehog lists Minitest as an available integration module.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026

IDE limitation

The docs say the IntelliJ Scala plugin does not include Hedgehog among its hard-coded supported test frameworks; tests can be run as applications by extending Properties, with the test defined as an object.hedgehogqa.github.io · 4 Oct 2026
