Visualization of the pytest codebase

[ivanmilevtues]

Hey all,
I have generated a high-level diagram for the pytest project: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/GeneratedOnBoardings/blob/main/pytest/on_boarding.md

The idea behind this diagram is to help people get up-to-speed with the pytest codebase. Me and a friend are building this in order to help both maintainers and contributors, we think that visuals are the best first step. I would love to hear how do you go about on-boarding in pytest, further what do you think about the diagram driven documentation. The way we generate is via utilizing static analysis and on top of that we use LLMs.

Any feedback is more than welcome, if you like what you see I can easily open a PR as well :).

Full disclosure: we're trying to turn this into a startup, but we're still in a very early stage and figuring out what will actually be useful for people.

At first glance that onboarding doc is user hostile by misunderstanding and connecting lots of details a bit backwards or confusing

Thanks for the answer @RonnyPfannschmidt. What do you mean by connecting lots of details backwards?
I would love to write this down so that we can improve on it, further what do you think of the general idea of having diagram first documentation?
