Describe the Task

@jprestop didn't have much knowledge about running pytests and was completely unfamiliar with markers. In reading the documentation on Subsetting Tests by Marker, she found that she still didn't understand how to use the pytests with markers. Research pytest markers and improve the documentation to make it more understandable to other contributors who may have a lack of knowledge about markers.
