"\n The model is a reference model for developers, showcasing best practices and functionalities of a model.\n It's a simple day degree model for an imagined pest, and when thresholds are passed, the warning status progresses.\n"
# ReferenceModel
This VIPS model is **an example only, without any actual agronomic value**. It provides examples of how you
create your own pest prediction model that can be deployed to a [VIPSCore-Python server](https://gitlab.nibio.no/VIPS/VIPSCore-Python) deployment.
```
## How to deploy this model
See the [VIPSCore-Python README](https://gitlab.nibio.no/VIPS/VIPSCore-Python#install-vips-models) for how to make it available on that server.
## Testing
The tests are located in the `tests` folder, and we're using [Pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/)
