Description
Currently most of notebook/tests (except the selenium ones) are all using the built-in unittest module. Native pytest format tests (with just functions) feels more readable and better adopted now. We also use it a lot in other parts of the ecosystem.
How do people feel about moving?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the tests under notebook/tests, separating the selenium tests as the issue requests, and identifying which files use Python's unittest module. Check the existing discussion before proposing a migration plan. Done would mean an agreed scope and all targeted non-selenium tests using native pytest function format while remaining runnable.
