When contributing to alya, you'll have to add tests to ensure that the features you added or modified do not impact negatively the code behavior. For specific functionalities unity tests are an appropriate option. By running the command "make test" all the unity tests will be executed. Note that unity tests should not be expensive in terms of computing or memory resources.

## Alya unity tests structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tests are located in `alya/unitt` directory. You will find several subdirectories containing different unity tests.
|
|
|
To add a new test, just create a new subdirectory with the name "unitt_XX", where XX are some words describing your tests separated by the character "_" (see existing examples).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Create the new test

|
|

|
`mkdir unitt_test_name`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add the file with the code for your unity test. You will take care of keeping the same name for the test directory and the files contained within (as in the existing examples).
