The `pytest` framework makes it easy to write small, readable tests, and can scale to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries. pytest unit  can  generate standard format JUnit-style XML files  which can be  submited  to Testfiesta or Testrail using taco truck cli. You just need to install the popular [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/getting-started.html) , and install Tacotruck CLI or use [Github action](https://github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck-action).  Check out simple pytest [example](https://github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck-examples/tree/main/demo-pytest-tf).
