Review and improve coverage of unit tests
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Now that we have some unit tests in place (see #60) it's probably a smart idea to look at how much of our code is and isn't covered by those tests.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Use a tool like [coverage](https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/coverage-5.0.4/) to evaluate how comprehensive our coverage is. 

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Consider including this in the pre-commit configs or as part of `tox` config so we always have some visibility on our coverage.
