Research direction

Choose 3 to 5 Python solution files and add a tests/ file for each, using pytest. Start by reading the selected solutions to identify their inputs and expected behavior, then cover normal and relevant edge cases. Done means the selected files have passing tests; fix any bugs you find in the same PR and describe those changes.

Description

1-hour algorithm all-levels codewars hackerrank hacktoberfest help wanted interview-prep leetcode medium open-source python students testing

Most Python solutions have no tests. Pick a few and write proper pytest cases for them.

Time: about an hour for a handful of files
Skills: Python, basic pytest

What to do
  • Choose 3 to 5 solution files
  • Create a tests/ folder with a test file per solution
  • Cover normal input, edge cases (empty, single item, negatives, duplicates), and large input where it makes sense
  • If a solution has a bug, fix it in the same PR and say what you changed

Do not worry about covering everything. A few well-tested files is a good start.
