A test encapsulates a series of expectations about a small, self-contained
set of functionality. Each test lives in a file and contains multiple
expectations, like expect_equal() or expect_error().
Tests are evaluated in their own environments, and should not affect global state.
test_that(desc, code)Test name. Names should be brief, but evocative. They are only used by humans, so do you
Test code containing expectations. Braces ({}) should always
be used in order to get accurate location data for test failures.
When run interactively, returns invisible(TRUE) if all tests
pass, otherwise throws an error.
