Add unit tests

[felixbur]

Here is an example

• Add test parameters
• Test for expected value
• Add tests/test_to_db.py:

import numpy as np
import pytest

import spmath


@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    'x, expected_y',
    [
        (2, 6.0206),
        (.5, -6.0206),
        (0, -np.Inf),
        (-1, np.nan),
    ],
)
def test_to_db(x, expected_y):
    y = spmath.to_db(x)
    np.testing.assert_allclose(y, expected_y)

Since Nkululeko is mainly a collection of Python CLI (not imported as modules), with argparse and configparser, the conventional way to use Python test is little bit difficult. There is a discussion here with many proposed solutions.

With the current test using bash shell for each module, it will become very difficult in the future to test all functionalities. But test is a must. We should try or choose options than the current shell test. Perhaps to try pytest as you showed above.
