There's no reason to use classes here you should use simple functions.

Classes are only useful if you want to maintain a state using a setup or 
teardown.  Look at test_macro.py for an example of this.

You should be using a setup similar to test_host.py which is just simple 
functions it's less work and easier to read.

This is one of the best features of pytest. :)

BTW examples are in my rtemstoolkit patch.

Yes, pytest  has quite a few fixtures that make life extremely easy.  Also just 
using asserts really saves a lot of time and is easier to develop with.  No need 
to remember dozens of unique functions.
