Why/when do we need addSubTest

why/when do we need this method? I'm not sure when it gets triggered nor how to design sub-tests in Django. Can you provide some more info.
I personally haven't come across any subtests implementation on a Django project before, however I came across it from the unittest library added in v3.4 and how it can be useful in debugging in test cases using iterations, where they would normally fail on the first iteration with less information.
This blog post has a novel example of how it can be useful in Django. I am yet to see a more fleshed out practical example, but I am for providing the functionality in this plugin just in case anyone who might use this as a runner does have some subtests in use.
I see what you mean. This is a cool feature - very popular in automated testing in golang for example.
+1 for keeping the functionality here. I will take another look at it.
