 Passing unit tests are only necessary if you’re looking to contribute a pull request. If you’re just playing locally, you don’t need them. However, if you’re contributing a pull request for anything other than making a change to the documentation, fixing a formatting issue in the code (i.e., white space, missing semi-colons) or another task that does not impact the functionality of the code, you will need to validate your proposed changes with passing unit tests.
