Show HN: IHP v1.0 (Batteries-included web framework built on Haskell and Nix)
While of course Haskell has more normal testing infrastructure available (eg. https://hspec.github.io/), my favorite bit of Haskell testing is QuickCheck, which IIUC started life in Haskell and has been reimplemented in other languages with various degrees of effectiveness and various degrees of connection to the original project.
John Hughes (not the filmmaker) gives a great talk about it: https://youtu.be/zi0rHwfiX1Q

How can I write tests in Haskell, I’m having trouble understanding how to install a test module?
hspec is a great library for testing, you can also use it to group different kind of tests, like property-based tests with QuickCheck.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing HUnit-Plus and hspec you can also consider the following projects:
hspec-expectations - Catchy combinators for HUnit
QuickCheck - Automatic testing of Haskell programs.
DocTest - An implementation of Python's doctest for Haskell
tasty - Modern and extensible testing framework for Haskell
smartcheck - A Smarter QuickCheck
quickspec - Equational laws for free
