Loader: Parameterized Tests

Load tests from parameterized functions and methods.

This plugin implements getTestCaseNames(), loadTestsFromModule(), and loadTestsFromName() to support loading tests from parameterized test functions and methods.

To parameterize a function or test case method, use nose2.tools.params().

To address a particular parameterized test via a command-line test name, append a colon (‘:’) followed by the index, starting from 1, of the case you want to execute.
