Currently nose is in maintenance mode:

Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects should consider using Nose2, py.test, or just plain unittest/unittest2.

It's primary successor Nose 2 does not support the tests in their current layout (Source) so there are two options:

Take current tests and make them conform to the nose 2 layout and hope it works
Rewrite tests in another framework such as pytest, unittest etc.

There are several unkowns to answer before proceeding:

Was there a reason specifically nose was chosen initially over unittest (functionality wise)?
Does pytest support all forms of tests currently implemented?
Can tests be easily migrated to Nose 2?
