You forget that we already have that feature in our testing layer,

with np.testing.assertraises(AnException): pass fair enough -- I wouldn't re-write that now, but as its there already, it may make sense to use it.

Perhaps we need a doc that lays out the prefered testing utilities.

Worthy of a NEP? Or is just a README or something in the code base.

Personally, I think a commitment to pytest is the best way to go -- but there are a lot of legacy tests, so there will be a jumble.
