On Our Way To A Full Testing Suite

So our group is on pretty good track to get this deliverable out the door on time.

We need 25 test cases, we currently have 13. I know of around 5 test cases we need to add for the first method we tested (fasta_compute_length). There was a variable we had not even tinkered with so that leaves room for test cases we can come up with. So, after the introduction of those test cases to our suite, we will be in very great position for getting all of our test cases done.

Tyrieke, Cameron, and I had a brief 5 minute discussion about the state of where the project is when we saw each other today. Tyrieke and Cameron went to the lab and started working on getting the last generic version of testing completed (as Tyrieke has found a method that would be trivial to test if we get that generic component done). I had to go to a class, but we plan to meet up and get the rest of this hammered out within the next day or two.

Concerning the deliverable: I went through and added detailed runs of the 5 test cases we identified in the third chapter of our deliverable. The detailed runs are pretty redundant, though, seeing as they all are testing the same method, with some of the parameters held constant the entire time as we were testing other aspects of the method for those 5 test cases. Redundancies are nothing more than safeguards, though, and it would be abnormal if 5 similar test cases did not have 5 similar runs and output.
