String Anagram Check and Testing

MediumPython

Problem

How would you check whether two strings are anagrams, and how would you design a testing framework for it?

Implement a case-sensitive function that treats every character, including spaces and punctuation, as significant. Describe a compact test strategy covering normal cases, boundary cases, and randomized validation.

Contract

is_anagram(s, t) accepts two strings and returns True if they contain identical character frequencies, otherwise False.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(s), len(t) <= 100000
  • Inputs contain valid Python strings
  • Comparison is case-sensitive
  • Spaces, punctuation, and Unicode characters are significant

Function Signature

def is_anagram(s, t):
