We will need to complete part – or all – of some of the tests for this project. If a test is incomplete, it will raise an Exception. You should comment out the Exception when implementing the test.
You may wish to review details about how to run tests here.
Recall that it is always a good idea to search the file for any @pytest.mark.skip decorators you may have missed before moving to the next wave.
Code coverage is a term used to describe how much application code is executed when a particular test suite is run. It is a good practice to check our code coverage in order to understand how much of our code is exercised by tests vs how much is still untested. A test suite with a high percentage of coverage is likely to be tested more thoroughly and have fewer bugs. A code coverage tool can partner with our testing suite to give us a report illustrating the coverage of our tests.
Review the code coverage exercise on how to use pytest-cov to generate a code coverage report. We will need to change the directory where the application code is located from student to app.

There is not a specific code coverage percentage required for this project. Creating a code coverage report allows us to continue practicing the skill of reading the code coverage report and using it as part of our development workflow.
