Move away from setup.py test and use a better alternative

[fridex]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be great if we move away from setup.py test command used to trigger unit tests. As an alternative, we could use nox or tox (used in many Python communities).

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a solution that seamlessly integrates with Pipfile and does not require maintaining setup.py (some components does not need it at all).

Let's have a spike which tooling can be used to trigger and maintain the testsuite:

• check tox
• check nox
• come up with a sample repo that triggers the testsuite using nox
• come up with a sample repo that triggers the testsuite using tox
• make sure the sample repo uses Pipfile and respects its dev dependencies that are required to be installed when running the testsuite
• think about possibly abstracting away the configuration (moving it to CI) so that users do not need to provide tox/nox config file for triggering the testsuite (unless they want to override the default behavior)
