In Python data visualization, how do I write unit tests?

In Python data visualization, writing unit tests is crucial to ensure the reliability and accuracy of your visual output. Unit tests can be created using the `unittest` framework, which is part of the Python standard library. This example demonstrates how to set up a simple unit test for a data visualization function that generates a plot using Matplotlib.

import unittest from matplotlib import pyplot as plt def create_simple_plot(data): plt.plot(data) plt.title('Simple Plot') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis') plt.show() class TestDataVisualization(unittest.TestCase): def test_create_simple_plot(self): data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] try: create_simple_plot(data) except Exception as e: self.fail(f'create_simple_plot raised {e} unexpectedly!') if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main()
