VERIFICATION: All tests still pass
- All 10 modules tested successfully with new discovery logic
- Total test count maintained: 47 inline tests across all modules
- No functionality lost, only improved maintainability
RESULT: Much cleaner, more maintainable testing framework following standard conventions
- Updated all _dev.py files to use 'comprehensive test' instead of 'integration test'
- Changed function names: test_*_integration() → test_*_comprehensive()
- Updated markdown headers, print statements, success/error messages
- Clarifies that these are comprehensive tests of single modules, not cross-module integration
- Real cross-module integration tests remain in tests/ directory
- Updated modules: 00_setup, 01_tensor, 02_activations, 03_layers, 04_networks, 05_cnn, 06_dataloader, 07_autograd
🎯 Issues Fixed:
1. MockTensor Scalar Handling: Fix np.array([data]) → np.array(data) for scalar shape ()
2. Index Bounds Validation: Add negative index check (index < 0) to MockDataset.__getitem__
3. DataLoader Input Validation: Add proper validation for batch_size > 0 and dataset ≠ None
✅ Impact: 06_dataloader external tests now pass 28/28 (was 19/28)
🔧 Technical Changes:
- MockTensor: Handle scalars correctly to create shape () instead of (1,)
- MockDataset: Validate negative indices to raise IndexError as expected
- DataLoader: Add robust input validation with proper error messages
- All issues were legitimate implementation problems, not test issues
This completes the systematic external test fixing across all 4 modules with failures.
