mass.test

Module containing functions for testing various mass methods.

There is the test_all() function to run all tests. Note that the testing requirements must be installed (e.g. pytest) for this function to work.

There are also functions for viewing and loading pre-built example MassModel objects via the json or sbml submodules, as well as functions to view Escher maps that correspond to certain pre-defined models.
