ScalaCheck vs scalaprops

ScalaCheck is a free Scala library for automated property-based testing of Scala and Java programs. It checks defined properties against randomized input parameters and reports the arguments that produce a failure. The library supports parameterized cases and parallel execution, and can run on its own with a built-in test runner. For sbt projects, the site shows how to add it as a test dependency; it is also integrated with ScalaTest, specs2 and LambdaTest. ScalaCheck has no external dependencies beyond the Scala runtime. Build artifacts are published in the Central Repository, with an sbt dependency declaration available from the download page. Documentation includes a user guide and API reference. The site lists version 1.19.0, released September 6, 2025. The project identifies the BSD-3-Clause license and lists a security policy. Its build defines JVM, Scala.js and Scala Native platforms, and its README says the Gradle plugin supports Scala.js and Scala Native. The site names the Scala compiler and Akka among projects that use it.

Scalaprops is a free Scala property-based testing library for Linux. It generates test data, including non-constant scala.FunctionN values through Cogen, and lets each test define flexible parameters. Law checking is configurable, with identifiers that may use types other than String. Scalaz integration supplies laws plus Gen and Cogen instances for Scalaz types. Randomness uses an immutable generator rather than mutable scala.util.Random. Failed tests report their starting seed, which can be passed again with --seed= for repeatable runs. The README states support for Scala.js and Scala Native, using Mersenne Twister by default on JVM and Scala Native and Tiny Mersenne Twister on Scala.js. An sbt plugin adds scalapropsOnly selection by test class, method, and parameter. ScalapropsFramework and sbt are listed test runners. Parallel test execution is unsupported.
