Description
Objective:
To ensure the integrity, reliability, and quality of our code, it's essential to implement automated testing. This task involves setting up a testing framework and creating initial tests for the existing functionalities.
Tasks:
1. Framework Selection:
- Evaluate and select an appropriate testing framework for the project (e.g.,
pytest
,unittest
, etc.). - Install necessary dependencies and set up the environment for test execution.
2. Initial Setup:
- Set up a dedicated directory for tests (e.g.,
/tests
). - Create templates or base files for future tests.
3. Test Writing:
- Identify the main modules and functionalities that require test coverage.
- Start by writing tests for critical or high-risk functionalities.
- As tests are written, run them frequently to ensure they work as expected.
4. Continuous Integration:
- Integrate test execution into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that tests run on all new -commits or pull requests.
Notes:
- Remember to follow best practices for testing, such as keeping tests atomic, independent, and clear.
- Keep the team informed about testing practices, considering hosting a brief training or review session to align all involved.
- Consider using code coverage tools, like
coverage.py
, to monitor the extent of test coverage.
