API: Running tests

Because the feature tests require the API to be running and available, you should create the environment and run the API (python3 app.py) before you run the tests.

Within a built VM, you can run the tests in the following way:

1. pytest - this will run all of the tests
2. pytest filename.py (e.g. pytest test_controller.py) - this will run just that specific file
3. pytest -r A - this will run all of the tests with a nice summary of information at the end - this is useful to see exactly which tests pass or fail and to also see the output of any print statements from within the tests
4. pytest -r A --cov-report term-missing --cov - this will also include a test coverage report
