# Before running the test
# In your virtual environment, type in the following to the terminal
# pip install coverage

# Test things along the way of building test as well
# <How to test the test>
# ipython -i server.py # to go into the interactive mode
# ctrl + c # to quit server from running

# <Test example1>
# tc = app.test_client(); tc
# expected result >>> <FlaskClient <Flask 'server'>
# indicates that now you can generate a test client

# <Test example2>
# resp = tc.get('/'); resp
# expected result >>> <Response streamed [200 OK]>
# indicates the route '/' is returning 200 on client
# So if the browser will be running, you will get a page
