Can I use pytest for hardware testing with TofuPilot?
Updated July 7, 2026
Yes. The CLI runs pytest suites natively under an embedded plugin: each test_* function becomes a phase, and assert statements like "assert lo <= x <= hi" become numeric measurements with limits. Run identity is read from [tool.tofupilot] in pyproject.toml.
