The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A CRUD journey in Haskell, part I, introduction
Testing is a good engineering practice agnostic to technology or tooling. Haskell is no different and the community created a great tool for Unit testing called HUnit, inspired by the Java JUnit.

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 and hspec you can also consider the following projects:
QuickCheck - Automatic testing of Haskell programs.
tasty - Modern and extensible testing framework for Haskell
HTF - Haskell Test Framework
HUnit-Plus - A test framework expanding on the HUnit Haskell testing package
hspec-golden-aeson - Use tests to monitor changes in Aeson serialization
hspec-checkers - Allows to use checkers properties from hspec
QuickCheck-GenT - A GenT monad transformer for QuickCheck library
fitspec - refine properties for testing Haskell programs
quickspec - Equational laws for free
