%%% @doc EXPERIMENTAL support in common-test for calling property based tests.
%%%
%%% <p>This module is a first step towards running Property Based testing in the
%%% Common Test framework.  A property testing tool like QuickCheck or PropEr is
%%% assumed to be installed.</p>
%%%
%%% <p>The idea is to have a common_test testsuite calling a property testing
%%% tool with special property test suites as defined by that tool. In this manual
%%% we assume the usual Erlang Application directory structure.  The tests are
%%% collected in the application's <c>test</c> directory. The test directory
%%% has a sub-directory called <c>property_test</c> where everything needed for
%%% the property tests are collected.</p>
%%%
%%% <p>A typical ct test suite using <c>ct_property_test</c> is organized as follows:
%%% </p>
%%% ```
%%% -include_lib("common_test/include/ct.hrl").
%%% 
%%% all() -> [prop_ftp_case].
%%% 
%%% init_per_suite(Config) ->
%%%     ct_property_test:init_per_suite(Config).
%%% 
%%% %%%---- test case
%%% prop_ftp_case(Config) ->
%%%     ct_property_test:quickcheck(
%%%       ftp_simple_client_server:prop_ftp(Config),
%%%       Config
%%%      ).
