Unit Tests

Unit tests are provided to test all the components of the package isolated.

Strategy

Minimal

The setup for each test is kept always minimal, trying to reduce each test to its atomic components.

Mocking

If needed some structures are mocked to be able to run piece of codes the depend on the presence of something else.

Errors

Even the error raising is tested, to ensure its consistency.

Coverage

The testing is checked and guaranteed by coverage metrics.

Warning

The coverage metric used is the one available with the package pytest, but it’s a little bit naïve.

Indeed the lines of code explored by tests are watched and reported in a very comfortable way, but more involved scenarios are ignored.

For example: if a single line of code will contain a branching (inline if... else... structure) it is considered explored even if not all the branches are explored by tests.
