 # Testing
 
 - [ ] This new/modified code was covered by unit tests. 
-
 - [ ] (insight) Was all tests written using TDD (Test Driven Development) style?
-
 - [ ] The CI (Windows, Linux, OSX) are working without issues. 
-
 - [ ] Was new functionality documented? 
-
 - [ ] The testing steps  1 - 2 below were followed
