211: Stamp out test dependencies with pytest plugins

We want to be able to run tests in a suite, and debug them in isolation, and have the behavior be the same.  
If the behavior is different in isolation vs in a suite, it's a nightmare to debug. 

In this episode, we'll talk about:
  • Causes of dependence
  • Testing for dependencies using plugins
  • Debugging test dependencies
Plugins discussed:
  • pytest-randomly
  • pytest-reverse
  • pytest-random-order
