Automated tests about libfmp HOT 2 CLOSED

Dear Verena,

Many thanks for your review and the feedback. We added a section in the README that describes our philosophy regarding tests.

libfmp is special in the sense that it originates from the FMP notebooks.

https://www.audiolabs-erlangen.de/FMP

There, the correct input-output behavior of the functions is described together with extensive explanations. We consider this an "enriched" replacement for traditional unit tests. We are aware that this corresponds to a somewhat "manual" testing procedure. As far as I understand the JOSS review checklists, manual testing steps are also acceptable. We do not plan to provide comprehensive automated unit tests.

The small test script can be executed with pytest (instead of unittest) as described in the new README section. Librosa has inspired us to use this package for testing.

Best,

Frank

Hi Frank,
thanks a lot for explaining your design choices regarding testing! Sounds good to me!

I wasn't aware of pytest, thanks for the additional description. Works for me!
