 This project uses unit, smoke and integration tests with Python files and notebooks. For more information, see a [quick introduction to unit, smoke and integration tests](https://miguelgfierro.com/blog/2018/a-beginners-guide-to-python-testing/). To manually execute the unit tests in the different environments, first **make sure you are in the correct environment as described in the [SETUP.md](/SETUP.md)**.
