## Background

[Pandera](https://pandera.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is a dataframe testing library and lets you:

- Validate [`pandas.DataFrame`s](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/index.html) at runtime by specifying dataframe [types and properties](https://pandera.readthedocs.io/en/stable/dataframe_schemas.html).
- [Synthesize data](https://pandera.readthedocs.io/en/stable/data_synthesis_strategies.html) for property-based testing.
