How can I validate python code in a Jupyter Notebook?
I am looking for a way to do the above within a coding class for students. The idea is to check in the background if the code the students created e.g. returns the correct value or performs the correct routine.
That way I could make sure the code works and will be useful in the forthcoming cells. What would be the best way to do so and to give feedback/hints as to what was done wrong?
This should of course be not visible to the students as they should figure out the answers themselves. Should I send the code to be validated by some other kernel? Is there an optimal way?

You could write tests for the tasks you hand out to your students. Depending on which ones fail proceed to print possible fixes.

This is usually the wrong tactic. You should provide a set of test cases that expect correct output that the student can run their test against. Recall that Test-Driven Development teaches that application code should only be written to satisfy existing unit tests. Since you're assigning the application code: you need to write the unit tests to be passed!
