Future Improvements

• Add bandwidth test - in http_tester.py the test function will call a new bandwidth_test function, and the result will be added to the additional_info dict.
• Make it a plug & play tool - upload the code as package to pypi. And just doing pip install connectivity-tool, and running connectivity-tool command from terminal will run the tests.
• Add lock when writing to the csv, to avoid race conditions.
• Store the results in a dedicated DB rather than a file (e.g: adding orm model to TestInstance using sqlalchemy/implementing different ResultsStorage class).
• Add more documentation in the code.
• Add more unit tests.
