Writing Tests in This Python Project

Testing is essential to maintain the integrity and reliability of the codebase. Follow the guidelines below to write tests for this project effectively.

Test Organization

• Unit Tests: Place unit tests for individual components in the tests directory, but take care to mirror the file structure of the src folder with the corresponding code files. Use the test_*.py naming convention for test files.

• System Tests: Tests that interact with DLS infrastructure, network, and filesystem should be placed in the top-level systems_test folder. This separation ensures that these tests are easily identifiable and can be run independently from unit tests.
