Add more test cases

[alecloudenback]

such as those in this file: https://github.com/JuliaActuary/ActuaryUtilities.jl/blob/master/test/runtests.jl

@alecloudenback can you please explain a bit more of which functions more test cases needs to be added in which file or with a particular example please?
I am trying to contribute to Julia as a complete beginner therefore confused a bit ; (
Please help!

Hi Kudeep, I'd be happy to work with you, but won't be able to provide much active guidance in the short term. Examples of what to add would be examples from the literature such as calculation of an IRR, calculation of bond duration, key rate duration, etc. Basically take a look at a finance/insurance textbook and see if this package provides similar functionality.

For example, if you have a textbook which has an example of calculating the duration of a series of cashflows, call ActuariesUitilites.duration(yield,cashflows) and document that it equals what the texbook says the answer should be.

Complete example:

texbook says the duration of cashflows [10,10,10,10,10] using a 5% yield should be [x], then show in a pluto notebook what the refence is that you are citing and that ActuariesUitilites.duration(0.05,[10,10,10,10,10]) equals [x]

Even if you just do that in a notebook or something, at a future point in time I could walk you through turning that into a pull request

@alecloudenback Okay I will try to read some textbooks solve some problems and then write some more good test cases from the next time.
