+### Configuring Unit Testing in VSCode

+- We have removed the strict dependency on forcing `pytest` usage via the `.vscode/settings.json` file.
+- Developers are free to set up unit tests using their preferred framework, whether it is `pytest` or `unittest`.
+- If needed, adjust VSCode's local `settings.json` (accessed via the Command Palette(`Ctrl+Shift+P`) and type `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`) to configure the test framework. For example:

+  "python.testing.pytestEnabled": false,
