Standardize AReaL unit tests by creating files under areal/tests using the test_<module>_<feature>.py naming convention, referencing shared utilities from areal/tests/utils to implement CI-ready testing patterns.

The standard naming convention for AReaL testing patterns requires test files to be named test_<module>_<feature>.py and placed under the areal/tests directory to maintain consistent test organization and reduce regression risk.

You should implement unit tests in the AReaL project when adding new functionality, fixing bugs, or extending datasets, ensuring that new dataset loaders or model modules have corresponding tests following the provided templates.

Yes, the AReaL unit test template provides a structured organization for CI-friendly testing patterns, documenting best practices for testing strategies across datasets, models, and utilities to accelerate robust test implementation.

Recommended testing strategies for AReaL dataset loaders and model modules involve following the structured templates under areal/tests, utilizing shared utilities from areal/tests/utils, and applying CI-ready practices to ensure robust test coverage.
