      3 ## Running the tests
      4 
      5 To run the included *tests*, run the test file using the `pytest` module, replacing `{exercise_name}`:
      6 
      7 ```bash
      8 $ python3 -m pytest {exercise_name}_test.py
      9 ```
     10 
     11 Many IDE's and code editors have built-in support for using Pytest to run tests; check them out [here](https://github.com/exercism/python/blob/main/docs/TOOLS.md#editors-and-ides).
     12 
     13 For more information about running tests using `pytest`, checkout our [Python testing guide](https://github.com/exercism/python/blob/main/docs/TESTS.md#pytest).
     14 
     15 ### Common pytest options
     16 
     17 - `-v` : enable verbose output.
     18 - `-x` : stop running tests on first failure.
     19 - `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases.
     20 
     21 For other options, see `python3 -m pytest -h`.
     22 
     23 ## Submitting your solution
     24 
     25 You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit raindrops.py` command.
     26 This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
     27 
     28 It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
     29 
     30 - See how others have completed the exercise
     31 - Request help from a mentor
     32
