Introduction

CCExtractor is a tool to extract subtitles/closed captions from video streams. In order to verify that changes to the code don't break previous samples with issues, we created a test suite. To run this whenever a pull request on GitHub is opened, or when a commit is made, we created the Sample Platform (often abbreviated as SP), which is a website where users can submit faulty samples, and which kicks off the test suite on different platforms.

The task

Currently, the sample platform has a rather decent set of unit/integration tests (about 60%). We'd like to increase coverage, so more tests should be added.

Flask provides a way to test the application, so it'd be great to make use of that and test some stuff that way.

Requirements to complete this task

We expect a pull request that adds at least 3 new unit tests that cover previously untested code.
