The ‘testscenarios’ <URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/testscenarios>
library allows you to define a set of data scenarios on your
FooBarTestCase and have all the test case functions in that class run
for all the scenarios, as distinct test cases.

e.g. a class with 5 scenarios defined, and 3 test case functions, will
run as 15 distinct test cases with separate output in the report.

Yes, this is exactly the problem addressed by ‘testscenarios’. Enjoy it!
