... })
>>> outliers_check = OutliersDataCheck()
>>> assert outliers_check.validate(df) == {"warnings": [{"message": "Column(s) 'z' are likely to have outlier data.",                                                                     "data_check_name": "OutliersDataCheck",                                                                     "level": "warning",                                                                     "code": "HAS_OUTLIERS",                                                                     "details": {"columns": ["z"]}}],                                                       "errors": []}
