Hello again,
>(1) Any tips how I can optimize this i.e test case, should have a

>(2) Also note that failure.run_tool function can have variable

Here's a little example of how you could coerce your problem into a
ConfigParser-style configuration file.
With this example, I'd think you could also see how to create a
config section called [lin_02] that contains the parameters you want
for creating that object. Then, it's a new problem to figure out
how to refer to that object for one of your tests.
Anyway, this is just another way of answering the question of "how
do I simplify this repetitive code".
Good luck and enjoy,
