+	<longdescription>
+		The plugin adds functionality to py.test to recognise and collect Jupyter notebooks.
+		The intended purpose of the tests is to determine whether execution of the stored
+		inputs match the stored outputs of the .ipynb file. Whilst also ensuring that the
+		notebooks are running without errors.
+
+		The tests were designed to ensure that Jupyter notebooks (especially those for reference
+		and documentation), are executing consistently.
+
+		Each cell is taken as a test, a cell that doesn't reproduce the expected output will fail.
