Generate a CI/CD setup

[nauar]

As we are getting closer to the target version 1.0, we need to provide a full DevOps setup:

• A CI/CD pipeline
• Define the versioning and tagging of the project. Proposal: Semantic Versioning

Testing

In our testing setup, we should at least provide unit testing and end-to-end testing.

Unit testing

Found two main tools for unit testing in Python: unittest and pytest.

According to this source, Pytest is known for its simplicity, scalability, and powerful features such as fixture support and parameterization. It has a concise syntax and a rich plugin ecosystem. On the other hand, unittest is a built-in testing framework that follows the xUnit style and is part of the Python Standard Library.

We will try with unittest due to we need basic unit testing for this simple bot.

End-to-end testing

Found several options: Pytest (again), Robot Framework, behave, and lettuce.

• Discarding Lettuce because it seems not maintained anymore (last commit in default branch is from 4 years ago).
• PyTest and Robot Framework seem not as tightly integrated with BDD methodology as behave. Discarded both.

We will try with behave.
