The record

Purpose: Scala Hedgehog is a property-based testing system for Scala, in the spirit of QuickCheck and ScalaCheck.
Automatic shrinking: Integrated shrinking simplifies failing test cases while preserving the invariants of generated values.
Generator control: Range combinators control the scope of generated numbers and collections.
Test runner: The project includes an SBT test runner and supports SBT's testing extension.
Test integrations: Integration modules are available for Minitest and MUnit.
Build tools: The getting-started documentation assumes SBT and says Hedgehog is also supported for Gradle through a Scala plugin.
Scala compatibility: The documentation lists support for Scala 2.12, 2.13, and 3.3+.
Availability: The project documents binary dependencies published through Maven Central, including core, runner, SBT, Minitest, and MUnit modules.
Core dependencies: The core module currently has no external dependencies.
Release status: The project describes itself as in an early release and says its API may break until wider adoption.
IntelliJ limitation: The docs say IntelliJ's Scala plugin does not list Hedgehog among its hard-coded supported test frameworks, and explain how to run Properties tests as an application instead.
Intended users: The project is for Scala developers who want property-based tests, including tests of stateful systems.
Integrated shrinking: Its integrated shrinkers compose with generators, so shrunk values preserve their invariants by construction.
State testing: It supports abstract state machine testing for stateful systems.
