[Adammatthiesen]

Is your chore related to a problem? Please describe. We currently have no way to test functionality or new features within the project.

Describe the solution you'd like We need to implement and start utilizing a CI/CD Pipeline

Additional context Testing is important as it will not only help streamline our process but will be required for 1, the dependency management, as well as to ensure we do not release a version that does not work once we start releasing packages!
