Python has a great built-in [unit test](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/unittest.html) framework. This post will give a skeleton for how to format the files in your `tests` directory.
Example `tests/test_basic.py`
```python
import unittest
class Tester(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
"""To Run Before Every Test Case"""
pass
def tearDown(self):
"""To Run After Every Test Case"""
pass
def test_something(self):
"""A Test Case"""
self.assertEqual(True, True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
```
To auto-discover and run your tests
```bash
python -m unittest discover -s tests
```
