Making simplex testing clean and simple

Making Simplex Project Testing – Clean and Simple

What does this repo do?
- It organizes the python stack for the coding project
What do I need to do in the project?
- The project aim is to complete 3 functions using the revised simplex method
- These are simplex_step, simplex_init, and simplex_method
- The details of what these functions do and what are the inputs and outputs are available in project.pdf file provided.
- The instructors will run the functions for different test cases (1-11)
Okay, then how is this repository related to project?
- Find project.py file. This is the only file where you make changes.
- You’ll find those 3 functions in this file, just add the appropriate code in there
- Once done, you can test your implementation using run_test.py and verify if your implementation is correct.
- Every test file provided by the instructor tests different aspects of the simplex implementation, so to make things simple, the run_test.py by itself will find the appropriate test case – run your function and then let you know the result (success/fail)
- There’s more, groot also checks if your function return types are valid, so that you know that you have the right construction
- Beyond that, groot is very flexible in terms of testing, you can test by test_number, function or all cases in one go.
“Uhhh.. that seems to complicated, tell me bottom line?”
- Just go to project.py file and write your code.
- Say, you’ve finished simplex_step and want to see if this is correct.
  - On your console run – python3 run_test.py --function=simplex_step
- OR say you just want to run test3 for debugging sake
  - On your console run – python3 run_test.py --test=3
  - OR may be you’re done with all 3 functions and run all the test cases
    - On your console run – python3 run_test.py --all
- Nice! What do I get after running this?
  - Groot tells you if your output were correct/incorrect and if latter then what part of the output is incorrect. Like this:
  > TEST – 2 was successful! >> TEST – 3 was successful! >> TEST – 4 was successful! ************************************ TEST-5 ************************************ INCORRECT istatus! “>
```
$python run_test.py --function="simplex_step"

************************************
TEST-1
************************************
INCORRECT STEP!
iN incorrect!
iB incorrect!

>> TEST - 2 was successful! 
>> TEST - 3 was successful!
>> TEST - 4 was successful!
************************************
TEST-5
************************************
INCORRECT istatus!
```
- Do I need to do anything with the test_scripts – No
- Do I need to make any changes in run_test.py – No, you only modify project.py
- How do I find all the execution options – python3 run_tests.py --help
