Configure test discovery as per pytest good practices

[kgashok]

Test discovery is best handled by adopting good practices.

I suggest we move in a phased manner. Begin by adopting good practices for tests outside application code, which is the way it is currently configured.

• From ~2013 (from unittest era), read Kenneth Reitz suggested test suite structure here

• considering the use of importlib

• restructuring the repo with /src layout

• conftest.py seems to be versatile

  • and can come in handy in conjunction with test-plugins
  • including Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
  • an example from pipenv - https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/blob/main/tests/conftest.py

• write some more tests

  • Mocks https://realpython.com/python-cli-testing/#unit-testing-with-pytest-and-mocks
  • Integration https://realpython.com/python-cli-testing/#integration-testing
