3. Improve Unit and Integration Testing

Test coverage for the nteract project is currently at 61% and work on our integration test suite has stalled. We need your help to improve our testing story!

Motivation

An increase in test coverage and more integration tests would help improve code quality and speed up our verify-and-release process.

Expected Skills

You should be familiar with JavaScript, familiarity with the TypeScript language is a bonus. You should be familiar with the concept of unit and integration tests.
