Update unit testing strategy #253
Description
Outline
An update of the unit testing strategy is required to help catch low-level issues before being committed.

2.A Functional testing workflow definition will improve our ability to catch issues that surface in production. A combination of Docker and something like TestInfra to assert network state might be a good idea.
