Slide 6 - QuickCheck in Action

The slide titled "QuickCheck in Action" illustrates the process of using QuickCheck for property-based testing in software development. It outlines three key steps: defining properties for the software under test, generating random inputs to challenge those properties, and automatically verifying results against the defined properties.
