Running Testing

Clone the repo

Most of the test files under test sub-folder require you to enter your Azure DocumentDB master key and host endpoint:

masterKey = '[YOUR_KEY_HERE]'
host = '[YOUR_ENDPOINT_HERE]'

To run the tests:

$ python -m unittest discover -s .\test -p "*.py" 

If you use Microsoft Visual Studio, open the project file python.pyproj,
and run all the tests in Test Explorer.

Note:
Most of the test cases create collections in your DocumentDB account. Collections are billing entities. By running these test cases, you may incur monetary costs on your account.
