If you're interested in this style of testing and use Python, https://github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis-python is a very powerful library that lets you create parametrized tests which will automatically be run against a set of arguments designed to exercise those interesting edge-cases.

hypothesis is a pretty different style of testing, it is not intended for exhaustive testing.

Which you can easily do in pytest directly using parametrized test cases.
