unittest docs

You can skip a test case by adding a line above the def:

@unittest.skip("WIP")
def test_name(self):

Maintain a good test suite:

All the test cases are using phonebook = Phonebook(), is there a way to clean this up?

Use Test Fixture:

1. setUp()
2. TestCaseMethod()
3. tearDown()

Test structure:

• Arrange: add entries
• Act: check using method
• Assert: whether the act returns correctly (true / false)

Each test should be its own definition, if you're using comments to explain, it probably needs to be broken up into more defs
