Deliverable

The nibabel test suite uses the abandoned (stable, but unmaintained) nose library. For the sake of continued support for many neuroimaging formats, such as NIfTI-1/2 and AFNI's BRIK/HEAD, moving to a modern, supported test library will lower the barrier to entry to new contributors and maintainers.

Status

Partially completed. No apparent reductions in coverage in the process thus far.
