I think we could benefit from some of the more sophisticated features of a framework like pytest. Some highlights worth investigating: * Fixtures: https://pytest.org/en/7.4.x/how-to/fixtures.html * Live logging: https://pytest.org/en/7.4.x/how-to/logging.html#live-logs * Parameterization: https://pytest.org/en/7.4.x/how-to/parametrize.html#basic-pytest-generate-tests-example However, I don't know if it is realistically possible to make the migration in any reasonable amount of time... 97001 1 randy.macleod 2023-10-26 14:35:17 +0000 Does pytest support concurrent execution?
