Features
Discover files named test*.ipynb
Run each cell of the notebook as a unit test (just use assert)
First line of each cell is the test name, either as docstring, comment or function name
A cell named fixture* or setup* is run before each of the following unit tests as a fixture
Add SKIPCI to a cell description to skip the test on Travis-CI (checks if the CI environment variable is defined)
IPython notebook kernel is restarted after each test
Each notebook is executed in the folder where the .ipynb file is located

Python 2.7+, Python 3.2+
