consider using a test framework

[proppy]

Expected Behavior

Tests should be using python testing best practices.

One popular framework is pytest: https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.2.x/ as it comes with:

• automated test discovery
• and a rich ecosystem of plugins: https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.2.x/reference/plugin_list.html#plugin-list (including things like https://pypi.org/project/pytest-xdist/ that allow multiple tests to be run concurrently).

Actual Behavior

Tests uses monolytics python scripts with manual exit() invocation, see https://github.com/google/globalfoundries-pdk-libs-gf180mcu_fd_pr/blob/main/rules/klayout/drc/testing/run_regression.py#L243

@atorkmabrains Did we hit this target in the new testing environment we have in PV repo ?

[atorkmabrains]

@FaragElsayed2 I don't believe so. I believe we still use the normal regression flow for PV. I recommend that we open another issue on PV repo and close this one.

[FaragElsayed2]

@atorkmabrains Should I do that or wait for @proppy to move it ?

[atorkmabrains]

@FaragElsayed2 Please open the other issue on the PV repo and we I'll close that one. Please make sure to link the new issue to this issue.

[FaragElsayed2]

@atorkmabrains Done
