Parameters:

• descriptions (bool) - A flag which if True will cause the test description to be printed out, when the verbosity is > 1.
• verbosity (int) - The verbosity level.
• timing (bool) - A flag which if True will enable timing of individual tests.
• io_capture (bool) - A flag which if True will cause all IO to be captured and only printed out for failing or error tests.
