Our first step should be making sure our test actually fails eventually, as a sanity check to know it’s good at detecting bad cases:

 $ ​​rebar3​​ ​​proper
 build information and other properties
 ===> Testing prop_checkout:prop_special()
 ......!
 Failed: After 7 test(s).

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
