The main thing is that nosetests is/will be no longer supported. We need to move to either pytest or unittest.\r\n\r\nSome additional brainstorming:\r\n- shorten test runtime to reduce friction\r\n- refactor tempfile stuff, perhaps into a decorator\r\n- refactor the @skipif(no_pkg) statements\r\n- take out non-empty .nii files in testing\r\n- fewer empty .nii files\r\n- replace `yield assert_*` statements (not all testing tools handle iterators well, e.g. the `mock` module)\r\n- check code coverage weak areas, set goal?"}}
