Thank you very much for this work. I think this is great for the project 
since pytest is already well known in the python community.

Personally I agree, but until there is consensus on this point I think the 
two methods can coexist (indefinitely if needed).

I'd also like to add that you can run:
```
pytest --veryquickcheck
```
(which runs ~80% of the tests in about 1 minute). I have found it useful to 
quickly gain some initial confidence after having made sweeping changes in 
the code base.
We have a semi-automated process for updating the grouping of tests after 
runtime (two scripts under .ci/).

All the best,
Björn
