Unit TestingUnit test Unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of source code—sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures—are tested to determine whether they are fit for use.

Unit tests for media handling started failing on September 4th. A report was filed on GitHub by @redituk. The errors reported regarding media handling appear to have subsided at this time.

Details about test failures still not currently being reported and displayed properly on the hosting test results page.

@earnjam is working on fixing this. If anyone would like to volunteer to assist with that, please comment here or get in touch with @earnjam.
