    Many thanks to Chad Vernon and his incredibly useful blog posts on running unit tests in Maya. Most of the code
    found in the artv2_tester package was from his posts.

    Check out his posts `here`_:

To run tests to ensure changes to the code base you have made aren't causing any issues, it's best to restart Maya,
then under the ART v2 menu, in the Development sub-menu, find Run Tests.

The following interface will appear:

From here, you can either hit the left-most play button to run all tests, or select a specific test or group of tests
and use the "Run Selected Tests" button.

If a test fails, you will get information on the right side about what failed and where.
