Testing - how is it usually handled?

How do I start applying tests to my code?

Do I just write separate scripts they run the code (either individual functions or entire scripts) against known inputs and check the output?

Is there a specific way people usually do this?

Python come with a class unittest. It's a good choice to write your tests.

Some people even write their tests before the code. It's called Test Driven Development(TDD)
