How We Tested

Many projects use standalone unit tests for code verification. Because pymata_aio is so heavily hardware dependent, we tested with Arduino boards configured with hardware devices. Code coverage was applied while running the tests to verify that as much code as possible was exercised. The tests used are located in the test directory of the Github distribution.

PyCharm was used for all development and testing. Tests were performed using pytest when running test_all.py.
