Someone help me with this one

code:

tests.py
import unittest

from string_fun import is_palindrome


class PalindromeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_good_palindrome(self):
          self.assertTrue("tacocat")
        pass

    def test_bad_palindrome(self):
        pass
string_fun.py
def is_palindrome(yarn):
    """Return whether or not a string is a palindrome.

    A palindrome is a word/phrase that's the same in
    both directions.
    """
    return yarn == yarn[::-1]

In tests.py I don't see where you are testing tacocat to see if it is a palindrome. You need to use the is_palindrome() function somewhere in there.

Post back if you are still stuck.
