I think the easiest way is to start with general properties and general input, and tighten them up as needed. The property might just be "doesn't throw an exception", in some cases.

If you find yourself writing several edge cases manually with a common test logic, I think the @example decorator in Hypothesis is a quick way to do that: https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/api.ht...

Thanks, the "does not throw an exception" property got my mental gears turning in terms of how to get started on this, and from there I can see how one could add a few more properties as one goes along.

Appreciate you taking the time to answer.

		Yes. One of the first things you have to do when writing any property based tests, no matter what you actually want to test, is defining your input generators. And once you have those generators, you might as well throw together the "doesn't crash unexpectedly" test together. That not only tests your code, but also exercises your just written input generators.
