Checklist for Completion

Integration Testing

• Research and implement methods of parallelizing integration tests #511
• Research and develop menthods of automatically producing and using smaller test datasets #512
• Create a new tests plugin interface for GeoIPS. #514
• Convert current tests to plugins. #515
• Add code profiling to help identify regressions in efficiency. #516
• Assess code coverage from integration tests and add tests as needed to ensure more complete coverage. #517
• Add documentation describing how to construct integration tests for new product types. #518

Unit Testing

• Assess currently available unit testing tools to determine whether Pytest is the appropriate tool for GeoIPS. #519
• Research unit test structures and methods employed by other Python packages. #520
• Use lessons learned from other packages to formalize and document the structure and methods employed in the GeoIPS unit testing suite. #521
• Update the pull-request review process to require that unit tests are added for all new features. #522
• Identify and implement automated methods to ensure that unit tests are added when required. For example, require that test coverage doesn’t drop due to a new pull-request. #523
• While developing major new features like the order-based procflow and the CLI, refactor functions as needed to implement unit tests. #524
