Apply best practices to testing

[engnadeau]

• Currently, all testing is consolidated in opem/opem/test.py as a pseudo-doctest file
  • This is actually improper usage of doctests
  • It is hard to understand how and what is being tested
• If doctests are to be used, they should be implemented in the docstrings
• Otherwise, testing should use a proper framework
• See http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/tests/ for best practices

Hi @nnadeau

I used doctest.testfile method because of .coverage file merge problem in docstring mode, and we have some output style test in OPEM that I think doctest is better than pytest and unittest in this case.

Thanks

Can you please provide a more detailed description of the merge problem and output style test?

@nnadeau

Merge problem : each function tests in docstring mode create one .coverage file and this file overwrite by next.

Output style test : some functions output style in console

Thanks
