hey there, I maintain a pytest plugin for this in case it helps, feedback very welcome.

@cchriste , @archanasri , have you looked at pytest? (https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/)

@alex-treebeard , what's the limitation on Windows? We specifically need to test on Windows.

Sadly I don't test on windows, so your mileage may vary

FWIW, I've just released 0.5 which is tested on windows. https://pypi.org/project/nbmake/#history

It's worth noting though that the jupyter stack as a whole is less stable on windows than unix-like systems.
