# Testing
The following is a simple guide to testing RAPIDS. All files necessary for testing are stored in the `/tests` directory
## Steps for Testing
1. To begin testing RAPIDS place the fake raw input data `csv` files of each fake participant in
`tests/data/raw/`. The fake participant files should be placed in
`tests/data/external/participant_files`. The expected output files of RAPIDS after
processing the input data should be placed in `tests/data/processesd/frequency` and `tests/data/processesd/periodic` for frequency and periodic respectively.
2. Edit `tests/settings/frequency/config.yaml` and `tests/settings/periodic/config.yaml` to add and/or remove the rules
to be run for testing from the `forcerun` list.
3. Edit `tests/settings/frequency/testing_config.yaml` and `tests/settings/frequency/testing_config.yaml` to configure the settings and enable/disable sensors to be tested.
4. Add any additional testscripts in `tests/scripts`.
5. Run the testing shell script with
```bash
tests/scripts/run_tests.sh
run_test.sh [-l] [all | periodic | frequency] [test]
```
`[-l]` will delete all the existing files in `/data` before running tests.
`[all | periodic | frequency]` will generate feature data for all or specific type of features and save in `data/processed`.
`[test]` will compare the features generated with the precomputed and verified features in `/tests/data/processed`.
The following is a snippet of the output you should see after running your test.
```bash
test_sensors_files_exist (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... periodic
ok
test_sensors_features_calculations (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... periodic
ok
test_sensors_files_exist (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... frequency
ok
test_sensors_features_calculations (test_sensor_features.TestSensorFeatures) ... frequency
FAIL
```
The results above show that the for periodic both `test_sensors_files_exist` and `test_sensors_features_calculations` passed while for frequency first test `test_sensors_files_exist` passed while `test_sensors_features_calculations` failed. In addition you should get the traceback of the failure (not shown here). For more information on how to implement test scripts and use unittest please see [Unittest Documentation](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/unittest.html#command-line-interface)
Testing of the RAPIDS sensors and features is a work-in-progress. Please see `test-cases`{.interpreted-text role="ref"} for a list of sensors and features that have testing currently available.
Currently the repository is set up to test a number of sensors out of the box by simply running the `tests/scripts/run_tests.sh` command once the RAPIDS python environment is active.
