testimony 0.3.0

Advantages

1. Avoids a separate test case management tool to document test cases by using the python automation framework for the same

2. Enforces test cases to follow a defined standard

3. Runs in integration with tools like Travis to get a report as and when you check in code

4. Saves a lot of time from the conventional way of writing test cases using a test management tool
