feat: Add comprehensive Python testing infrastructure with Poetry

Add Python Testing Infrastructure

Summary

This PR sets up a comprehensive testing infrastructure for the project using Poetry as the package manager and pytest as the testing framework. The infrastructure provides a solid foundation for writing and running tests with proper coverage reporting and test organization.

Changes Made

Package Management

• ✅ Added pyproject.toml with Poetry configuration
• ✅ Configured project metadata and dependencies
• ✅ Set up development dependencies for testing

Testing Framework

• ✅ Installed pytest as the main testing framework
• ✅ Added pytest-cov for coverage reporting
• ✅ Added pytest-mock for mocking utilities
• ✅ Configured pytest settings in pyproject.toml

Test Configuration

• ✅ Set up coverage reporting with 80% minimum threshold
• ✅ Configured HTML and XML coverage report generation
• ✅ Added test markers: unit, integration, and slow
• ✅ Set up Poetry scripts: poetry run test and poetry run tests

Directory Structure

Shared Fixtures (conftest.py)

• temp_dir: Temporary directory for test files
• mock_model: Mock Lasagne model
• mock_layer: Mock Lasagne layer
• sample_input_data: Sample neural network input
• sample_labels: Sample labels
• mock_config: Configuration dictionary
• mock_weights_file: Mock weights file
• mock_dataset: Mock dataset object
• mock_theano_function: Mock Theano function
• disable_gpu: Force CPU execution
• Session-scoped test directories

Additional Updates

• ✅ Updated .gitignore with testing artifacts and Claude settings
• ✅ Created validation tests to verify the infrastructure
• ✅ Added comprehensive testing documentation

How to Use

1. Install dependencies:

   poetry install
   

2. Run all tests:

   poetry run test
   # or
   poetry run tests
   

3. Run specific test types:

   # Unit tests only
   poetry run pytest -m unit
   
   # Integration tests only
   poetry run pytest -m integration
   
   # Exclude slow tests
   poetry run pytest -m "not slow"
   

4. View coverage report:

   • Terminal: Automatically shown after test run
   • HTML: Open htmlcov/index.html in browser
   • XML: Available at coverage.xml

Validation

The infrastructure has been validated with 13 passing tests that verify:

• pytest is working correctly
• All fixtures are accessible and functional
• Test markers work as expected
• Coverage reporting is properly configured
• Both poetry run test and poetry run tests commands work

Notes

• The project dependencies (lasagne, theano, numpy) were inferred from the codebase
• Coverage is currently configured to only track test files for infrastructure validation
• When writing actual tests, update the coverage configuration to track the appropriate source modules
• The poetry.lock file should be committed to ensure reproducible builds
