Research direction

Start by reading the AbstractGraph interface and the related Graphs.jl issue #253, then review the linked Discourse discussion about testing test suites. Define what methods the supplied suite must validate and how its own correctness will be checked; the issue is complete when both concerns have an agreed implementation and coverage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

question

Once users implement an AbstractGraph, they need an easy way to make sure that all of the methods are correctly defined. For instance a test suite that we provide.

And we need a way to make sure that said test suite is correct: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/metatesting-jl-who-tests-the-test-suites/99273
