Vijay Janapa Reddi 5264b6aa68 Move testing utilities to tito/tools for better software architecture
- Move testing utilities from tinytorch/utils/testing.py to tito/tools/testing.py
- Update all module imports to use tito.tools.testing
- Remove testing utilities from core TinyTorch package
- Testing utilities are development tools, not part of the ML library
- Maintains clean separation between library code and development toolchain
- All tests continue to work correctly with improved architecture

# TinyTorch Standardized Testing Pattern
## Overview
All TinyTorch modules use a consistent testing pattern that ensures:
- **Consistent output format** across all modules
- **No code duplication** - shared utilities handle formatting
- **Easy test registration** - just register functions and run
- **Comprehensive reporting** - detailed pass/fail breakdown
## Usage Pattern
### 1. Import the Testing Utilities
```python
import sys
import os
# Add utils to path
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'utils'))
from testing import create_test_runner
```
### 2. Write Your Test Functions
```python
def test_feature_a():
"""Test feature A functionality."""
# Your test code here
assert something_works(), "Feature A should work"
print("✅ Feature A tests passed!")
def test_feature_b():
"""Test feature B functionality."""
# Your test code here
assert something_else_works(), "Feature B should work"
print("✅ Feature B tests passed!")
```
### 3. Register and Run Tests
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Create test runner for this module
test_runner = create_test_runner("YourModule")
# Register all tests
test_runner.register_test("Feature A", test_feature_a)
test_runner.register_test("Feature B", test_feature_b)
# Run all tests with consistent output
success = test_runner.run_all_tests()
```
## Standard Output Format
Every module will produce identical output:
```
🔬 Running YourModule Module Tests...
==================================================
🧪 Testing Feature A... ✅ PASSED
🧪 Testing Feature B... ✅ PASSED
============================================================
🎯 YOURMODULE MODULE TESTING COMPLETE
============================================================
🎉 CONGRATULATIONS! All tests passed!
✅ YourModule Module Status: 2/2 tests passed (100%)
📊 Detailed Results:
Feature A: ✅ PASSED
Feature B: ✅ PASSED
📈 Progress: YourModule Module ✓ COMPLETE
🚀 Ready for the next module!
```
## Benefits
1. **Consistency**: All modules have identical testing output
2. **No Duplication**: Testing utilities are shared across modules
3. **Easy Maintenance**: Changes to format only need to be made in one place
4. **Scalable**: Works for any number of tests and modules
5. **Professional**: Clean, standardized output suitable for educational use
## Implementation
- **Shared utilities**: `modules/source/utils/testing.py`
- **Test registration**: Each module registers its tests
- **Consistent format**: All modules get identical summary output
- **Error handling**: Detailed error reporting for failed tests
