Why I did it
The existing JSON tests are limited and require a huge amount of copy-paste to provide good coverage. The Pytest provides an alternative way to implement the tests. The tests and more readable and human-friendly. They also give more flexibility in the testing of corner cases.
As an example, the CRM, DASH CRM, and SmartSwitch tests are converted to Pytest. The new tests are more compact and provide better coverage.
