[Numpy-discussion] pytest, fixture and parametrize

THIS! I've been wanting to articulate this for a while but couldn't
quite put my finger on it.
Nevertheless, I agree with the sentiment in this thread, specifically
that, just like pytest supports unittest tests, I think any framework
that comes along to replace it will have to support pytest syntax to
be viable.
A NumPy document on preferred testing practices would be very valuable
even to projects beyond NumPy, just like  HOW_TO_DOCUMENT.txt was
valuable to the entire ecosystem.
