How to write unit tests for code written using python jira api?

[Surya]

I'm looking to write unit tests for the following code. Please help me figure out the solution.

def jiraConnect(username, password):

try:
logger.info("Connecting to Jira")
jira = JIRA(basic_auth = (username, password), options = {'server':'<ip-address/url>'}) 
logger.info("Connected to Jira")
return jira
except JIRAError as e:
return e.status_code, e.text

def getIssues(jql, field_list):
try:
size = 100
initial = 0
allIssues = []
while True:
start = initial*size
issues = jc.search_issues(f"{jql}", start, size, fields = field_list)
if(len(issues)==0:
break
initial += 1
for issue in issues:
allIssues.append(issue)
return allIssues
except JIRAError as e:
return e.status_code, e.text
