Use idiomatic pytest features

Favor pytest’s built-in testing utilities over manual, imperative patterns to keep tests concise, correct, and maintainable.

• Exception testing: use pytest.raises(ExceptionType) as a context manager instead of manual try/except blocks with assert False in the except clause. Code after the line that raises inside the with block is unreachable and should be removed.

# Avoid
try:
    flask.send_from_directory('static', 'bad\x00')
    assert False
except BadRequest:
    pass

# Prefer
with pytest.raises(BadRequest):
    flask.send_from_directory('static', 'bad\x00')

• Repetitive cases: use @pytest.mark.parametrize instead of manually looping over inputs or duplicating near-identical test functions. Split combined fixture data into separate parameters (e.g. ("args", "expected")) rather than bundling them into a single tuple/list fixture.

• Optional dependencies: guard tests that require optional packages with pytest.importorskip('package_name') so the suite can still run without them.

• Grouping related skips: when multiple tests share the same skip condition (e.g. requiring greenlet), group them into a test class and apply pytest.mark.skipif once at the class level instead of repeating it per test.

• Fixtures/signals: prefer pytest’s yield_fixture (or a fixture using yield) for setup/teardown logic, and use context managers provided by libraries (e.g. blinker’s signal.connected_to) for temporary connections, instead of manual connect/disconnect or ad-hoc fixture plumbing.

Applying these patterns reduces boilerplate, avoids subtle bugs (such as code after a raising call never executing), and makes test intent and coverage easier to follow.
