[Bug]: validation tests fail due to subprocesses running from missing dir

[oruebel]

What happened?

When running python test.py from the main directory, I get errors from the validation test suite because it seems to try and run subprocesses from a subdirectory coverage that doesn't exist (see trace below)

Steps to Reproduce

Run ``python test.py`` from the root dir.

I need a resolution to this for finishing #1511 - any guidance?

Is the coverage tool installed on your system? It should be installed from requirements-dev.txt

[oruebel]

On my system it was indeed that the coverage tool was not installed. Thanks for the help.
