Development guidelines

• All new functionality must include testing. Modifying existing functionality that is not already tested also requires adding testing.

• Don’t commit directly to master; make a separate branch and submit a pull request instead.

• Run tests before merging into master

• Python 3 is the present and future. Use this cheatsheet for tips on writing code that is compatible with legacy Python 2 and modern Python 3.

Testing

PTSA uses pytest as the test runner. Some tests are slow as they involve processing large amounts of data, so these are marked as such. To run all tests but the slow ones, use the -m “not slow” command line option.
