[Feature] Add Tox and Pytest packages for testing and utilities unit tests

[zilehuda]

This pull request introduces several improvements to the project's testing infrastructure and adds unit tests for utilities. The following changes have been made:

• Tox Configuration:

  • Created a tox.ini file to configure Tox, a testing tool that allows running tests against multiple Python versions and environments.
  • The tox.ini file specifies the test environments for Python 3.8 and Python 3.9.
  • Tox will now run the tests on both Python 3.8 and Python 3.9, ensuring compatibility across these versions.

• Pytest Configuration:

  • Created a pytest.ini file to configure Pytest, a flexible and powerful testing framework.
  • The pytest.ini file contains settings and options for running Pytest.

• Added Tox and Pytest Packages:

  • Included the necessary dependencies for Tox and Pytest in the project.
  • These packages enable efficient and reliable testing procedures.

• Utilities Unit Tests:

  • Added unit tests for utilities to ensure their correctness and functionality.
  • The tests cover various use cases and scenarios, verifying the expected behavior of the utilities.

To run the tests and utilize the newly added testing infrastructure, follow these steps:

• Install Tox and Pytest:
  • Install Tox and Pytest from requirements.ini.

2. Activate the Virtual Environment (Optional):

   • If you prefer to run the tests within a virtual environment, create and activate one using your preferred method.

3. Run the Tests:

   • Run tox command in the project's root directory.
   • Tox will execute the tests using both Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 environments defined in the tox.ini file.
   • You will see the test results and any reported errors or failures.

Please review and merge this pull request to incorporate these improvements into the project's testing infrastructure.
