  Description     : property-based testing for C

theft is a C library for property-based testing.
Where example-based testing checks test results for specific input,
theft tests assert general properties ("for any possible input,
[some condition] should hold"), generate input, and search for
counter-examples that make the test fail. If theft finds any failures,
it also knows how to generate and test simpler variants of the input,
and then report the simplest counter-example found.

This package is useful as it provides Haskell-like quickcheck functionality
for C programs.
