I also wonder how this will work with reporting tools that integrate unittest with Jenkins continuous integration. 

It means the total number of tests can't be known up front (parameterization generates testcases at collection time - sub tests creates the tests dynamically). The number of tests could even be different every run.

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
