This is not to show tests run quickly, as the tests are quite simple. What I would like to say is that these tests in particular are not testing code, but testing data quality (a PT dictionary formatting).

Why is this helpful? Because when I too the time to write the tests, I found out that I had more than 6000 entries with formatting errors.
