EEGTrust Testing Guide

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for testing the EEGTrust seizure detection system for accuracy, latency, and clinical readiness.

🎯 Testing Overview

The EEGTrust system includes three main testing components:

1. Accuracy Testing - Evaluates model performance on test data
2. Latency Testing - Measures real-time performance and throughput
3. Integration Testing - Tests complete system end-to-end

🚀 Quick Start

Run All Tests (Recommended)

python scripts/run_all_tests.py

This will run all three test suites and generate a comprehensive report.

Run Individual Tests

# Accuracy testing
