Description

From @edsko on September 24, 2012 12:59

Write a script-driven Network.Transport implementation with which we can test for specific network failures, and then use QuickCheck to generate scripts (similar to how ByteString is tested).

Research direction

Start by locating the Network.Transport implementation and the existing ByteString QuickCheck tests. Build a script-driven transport that can reproduce specified network failures, then use QuickCheck to generate scripts. Done means the generated scripts exercise those failures through Network.Transport.
