@@ -30,7 +30,8 @@ Changed
 - Update DataFrameMethodTransformer tests to have inheritable init class that can be used by othe test files.
 - Moved BaseTransformer, DataFrameMethodTransformer, BaseMappingTransformer, BaseMappingTransformerMixin, CrossColumnMappingTransformer and Mapping Transformer over to the new testing framework.
 - Refactored MappingTransformer by removing redundant init method.
-- Updated tests for 
+- Refactored tests for ColumnDtypeSetter, and renamed (from SetColumnDtype)
+- Refactored tests for SetValueTransformer
 - Refactored ArbitraryImputer by removing redundant fillna call in transform method. This should increase tubular's efficiency and maintainability.
 - Fixed bugs in MedianImputer and ModeImputer where they would error for all null columns.
 - Refactored ArbitraryImputer and BaseImputer tests in new format.
