New Book on QuickCheck

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to let everyone who may be following the blog know that I have published a new book on using QuickCheck with Erlang. If you have heard about QuickCheck, or PropEr or property based testing in general, and didn’t know where to get started then this is the book for you. It starts with very basic “Hello World” type tests, and then moves up to generating data, testing stateful systems, Property Based Test Patterns and will even include bonus chapters on how to generate HTML and how to do TDD with quickcheck
