1# New Test Suite
2
3Welcome to the *new* test suite for Salt!
4
5Any test under this directory shall be written exploring the full capabilities of PyTest.
6That means, no occurrences of the [TestCase](https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase) class
7shall be used, neither our [customizations to it](../support/case.py).

9## Purpose
10
11While [PyTest](https://docs.pytest.org) can happily run unittest tests(withough taking advantage of most of PyTest's strengths),
12this new path in the tests directory was created to provide a clear separation between the two approaches to writing tests.
13Some(hopefully all) of the existing unittest tests might get ported to PyTest's style of writing tests, new tests should be added under
14this directory tree, and, in the long run, this directoy shall become the top level tests directoy.
