Some thoughts about testing #17

Closed m-rey closed 4 years ago

m-rey commented 4 years ago

How should we structure tests?
- Tests shouldn't interfere with each other. How should we handle tests that need databases? Delete the database after every test? Mock the database?
- Many tests require being logged in. Instead of writing the login and register code for each test, we can use pytest fixtures.

We could use an empty database which is filled by the tests and thrown away at the end... This way we could automate the whole functionality and try out everything.

m-rey commented 4 years ago

Each test should be isolated from each other. Maybe using a fixture to create a database before and destroy it after the test would guarantee that.
