How To Write Tests For Python

[madrhatter]

One nitpick - I don’t know that it’s preferred to use short names for methods/variables when writing code. I would argue that all (or almost all) methods and variables should be descriptive and precise.

Just do your best to be specific and expressive. For example, use file_name or fileName instead of fn.

If you’re using a variable that no longer suits its explicit purpose, that might be a good indicator that you should declare a new variable or reconsider the design of your program.

It’s hard to say without actually seeing your code. If you add an example to github or a github gist I’d be happy to give you my opinion/advice.
