    I've found pytest to encourage tests with really long method names, examples from the post:

    * test_refresh_failure

    * test_refresh_with_timeout

    These get even longer like test_refresh_with_timeout_when_username_is_not_found for example.

    pytest-describe allows for a much nicer testing syntax. There's a great comparison here: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-describe#why-bother

    TL;DR, this is nicer:

    def describe_my_function():

        def with_default_arguments():
