Questions about our testing and their answers.

Q: What framework we are using?

A: We are using the basic unittest that python gives us. Please don’t add anything else like py.test and his friends.

Q: What do we check?

A: Every object in pymal should be tested with all his function and flows. Check the returned types and their data. Tests with mocks as much as able.

Q: Where to put my consts

A: If they are only for your test put them in your TestCase class.

Q: And that’s all?

A: Pretty much yes, but remember to make asserts informative by code or by message.
