Unit Testing#
This project uses the Python pytest [1] package to apply unit testing [2] to
the source code. The test code is in the tests/ directories. Various tests
have been developed starting to provide features or resolve problems reported.
The unit tests are implemented in a standard manner such that independent
review [3] can run the tests on this code based on the instructions provided
in .github/workflows configuration files in the project directory.
This command will run the unit tests locally:
pytest -vvv .
Additional information may be learned with a Python package to run the tests:
coverage run -m pytest --lf -vvv .
The coverage command ([4]), will run the tests and create a report of the percentage of the Python source code that has been executed during the unit tests:
coverage report --precision 3
The unit tests on GitHub automatically upload the coverage results to the coveralls [5] site [6] which tracks coverage over time.
