Test

For the same reasons that meeting your future self would cause a spacio temporal shock, testing a tester using this same tester would cause a spacio testorial shock. So above all, don't.
Run testcases_executor.tests, using unittest:

$ python -m unittest testcases_executor.tests -v

👍 HtmlTestRunner was a great inspiration, so thank you for that.
