Add Tests for API Integration #6

Open kaybrian opened 1 month ago

kaybrian commented 1 month ago

Write unit tests for the API integration code to ensure that it correctly fetches and processes data.

@kaybrian I think I can help. My plan is to

Utilise a library pytest
Create a directory to contain test files /tests/test_fetch_data.py

However, I do have questions

In the tracker.py, it does not call any function from fetch_data.py instead it uses its own function. Is this intentional?
If yes, would that mean this task specifically focuses on the API call function in tracker.py?

Sure please go ahead.

About the Tracker. File. Looking at the fact that code has to be refracted to reflect all api calls from fetch_data. We can go ahead and move all the api calls to fetch data.

@kaybrian Thanks. Let's stick with unit tests first. Project directory refactor can be a separate ticket.

Sure that’s very fine. Please go ahead on that
