I agree. That way, we don't need to look through the folders for datasets while writing a new test. In addition to that, is it possible to write the test functions in a way that the test will automatically apply to all the datasets in /resource? If so, then it will be much easier to test with a new dataset --- we will just need to add it in the designated folder.
