SUGGESTION: Provide test data for coding challenges

Question

Hi!

I think challenges should give data for unit tests, so everyone can validate their code. e.g. a .csv accessible on SoloLearn! That would be really cool ☺ E.g. I noticed in the Garland challenge, that lots of us had bugs in our code. I eventually created unit tests with several different cases. This really helped me, and a couple of others. It might be worth a try.

Any thoughts on the best way to do this? CSV file via URL?

Note: I've already emailed the dev team.

I also think lots of people here don't even know about what testing is, how to debug properly and how to write decent and clean tests. Maybe some lessons about that could be very usefull for the community too, before adding the feature you suggest, so many people can really use it.

(i could write some lessons about in-depth unit testing tho)
