Automatic tests have been an internal debate for me for quite some time. As I was not a "proper" software developer when this project started, I wrote much of the code without any concern for tests. However a few recent bugs during refactors have made me reconsider the lack of tests, especially in terms of validating API output.

Tests should be added to, at the very least, validate the output of the Flask API is consistent with expectations.

The biggest blocker has always been how to emulate the zkhandler/Zookeeper backend for tests in a reasonable way, so this is step one.
