[pytest-dev] Refactor the old tests with pytest

[Bruno Oliveira]

Hi Reed,

You should take a look at parametrizing[1] so you end up with only:

/api_test
   test_device_api01.py
   test_device_api02.py
   test_device_api03.py

And inside it all tests are parametrized based on LAN_URL and WAN_URL
(possibly using a parametrized fixture if it is more convenient).

Report generation will remain unaffected.

Hope this helps,
Bruno.
