Features

• Collect tests using decorators instead of matching names against a regexp
• Set up fixtures as context managers that can be combined and reused
• Use the assert statement with arbitrary expressions that are inspected on failure
• Scan for collections by type rather than by name
• Treat tests as Python packages rather than script files
