Description

Description

There should be at least some test cases making sure that the scripts don't brake when new things get introduced.

This could be done by:

  • segmenting the train and run scripts into functions that get called in the train and run script and then testing those
  • or implementing the local mode and then running local tests in the test suites

Research direction
Explore the entry point scripts in src/gluonts/nursery/sagemaker sdk/entry point scripts. Consider refactoring train and run scripts into testable functions or implement local mode to run tests without AWS. Look at existing test patterns in the repository for guidance.
