• Use Pytest (Python) and GTest (C/C++) to validate functionality and maintain test quality.

•  Add new test cases from scratch for both Python and C/C++ components.

• Use proficient debugging tools for both languages:

  • Python debuggers such as pdb, VSCode debugger, PyCharm debugger.

  • C/C++ debuggers such as GDB,  or IDE-based debuggers (e.g., CLion, VSCode).
