`test_nistbeaconvalue.py` needs some re-working #18

Closed urda closed 8 years ago

urda commented 8 years ago

test_nistbeaconvalue.py is a massive unit test file with a TON of static data. It should be re-worked (without impacting testing or coverage) for easier management in the future.

This was previously considered in #15 to be pushed back until after version 1.0, but instead this will be completed before the first full public release.

I've started to break tests and test data out into smaller files. This began with commit 0bd857321bca631501a5765d51ecc7212d12e883

Some great headway has actually been made on this item.

Tests from the top level test_nistbeaconvalue.py have been split up into sub-files. Specifically:
- pseudo_random
- json
- xml
Sample data has been migrated to the nist_records.py file if appropriate. Otherwise, one-off test data was pushed into the test itself.

Work still needs to be done on this item, but this is a great start.
