Improve unit/ widget testing of the App.

[arteevraina]

Improving unit/widget testing of the app. Currently, the tests have been only been written for validators used in Register and Login Screens. I will help to improve the testing of the app and which would help to avoid any breaking changes in the future.

I can help with writing widget tests.
If no one's currently working on it, can I take this up ?

[arteevraina]

Hey @piyushpradhan ! Let's wait for the issue to get approved. If it gets approved, as I will be also working on this please update with widget are you working on in order to avoid any duplicate work.

[piyushpradhan]

Yeah, sure. We'll do that.

[jordanliu]

Agreed, let's add some overflow tests as well. Assigning @arteevraina

[arteevraina]

@jordanliu Should I add overflow tests for all the screen in a single PR or handle create different PRs for different screens?

[Sagar2366]

@arteevraina app testing is much needed issue to be fixed.
We should break down testing of each functionality in app.
For example - login screen test, sign up page tests, event page tests, etc.
It would also help to involve more students in the project.

[arteevraina]

Hi @shikharsaurav! You can contribute unit/widget tests but make sure to update here to avoid any duplicacy of work. I am waiting for #462 to merge after that I will add some more tests for url_page.dart.

Hi @arteevraina , I am trying to write tests for newsArticle.dart and newsfeed.dart.

[arteevraina]

Hi @utkarshshendge ! It would be better if you handle one widget in a single PR. So that other participants can also get involved :)

I see that test for newsArticle has already been written. Please cross check before sending a patch in order to avoid any duplicate work.

In the meantime, I will write tests for register_page.dart.

[utkarshshendge]

In order to write tests for newsfeed.dart we will have to write test for addPost.dart.
I'm writing for addPost.dart.
if anyone wants to write tests for newsfeed.dart feel free to do after tests for addPost.dart get merged.

[utkarshshendge]
