Enhancements in pytest 6.2
pytest 6.2 introduces several improvements. One notable enhancement is the introduction of the 'Tester' fixture, which has been replaced with the much-improved 'Itesters' fixture. This new fixture utilizes Python path lib, resulting in better functionality compared to the previous version. Additionally, pytest now features a convenient verbose mode that allows users to easily obtain reasons for skipped, failed, or passed tests. Lastly, the monkey patch functionality has been updated to include a new context manager, making it easier to implement patch changes within tests or helper functions.
