Research Testing Practices

Testing research

We need to figure out a testing plan for the following kinds of tests

• unit tests (what works well, is easy and integrates well with github actions)
• migration tests (same requirements
• E2E tests (same requirements)

@eysta00 I'm reopening this issue. Could you write a section in the README.md called Testing with subsections on the different kinds of tests we've discussed.

Useful info to put there is: 1) what libraries you decided on using and why 2) how these are helpful to us 3) when should contributors test their code and give them guidelines. You can create a separate pull request for these changes and we can discuss our testing methodology on that pull request.

Additionally: let's write the README sections on testing so that it not only serves this project but it can be a starting point for us (and other developers either future contributors or people just viewing the open source code) when doing testing on similar repos in the future.
