Testing setup🧪🧪

The projects uses pytest and black as the formatting option. The tests also check for consistencies on code format.

To initiate tests follow the steps below:

Its advised to create a virtual environment in the root folder
```
virtualenv venv
```
Activate the environent.

a. For Linux/MacOS users use the command below
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
b. for windows users
```
cd venv/Scripts

activate.bat
```
Install the requirements
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Run the pytest command
```
pytest
```

The testing results will be displayed and there will also be a htmlcov folder generated inside the project that will contain the code coverage details.
